Things will hopefully keep going well on the job and this 2 year time frame will give me sufficient time to save up for the large down payment and improve my FICO score to 720+ which will be important for the best deals in the marketplace for my first home. I like coastal areas of North County BUT even if prices drop they still will be way out of reach for my income. Like even if a 2.5 million place in Encinitas or Del Mar should drop down to 1.5 million I still would not be able to afford it. Which is fine because I have simple needs- a decent 2-3 bedroom home or townhome with a huge 2 car garage (1200-2000 square foot) adequate for a single bachelor guy like me. The problem with condos is the tiny garage excuse they have. Thats why I need room to store 1-2 cars or a truck and a boat.
