I think I’m a 3. I own my condo and like it but want to expand my empire to include a house with a studio/workshop/garage and some land. I’m bitter that the value of my condo is going down, but sweet that houses are getting cheaper while I’ve been living in a decent condo and saving more money for a house. Even less bitter because I don’t know if I’ll ever sell the condo since I can rent it out once I eventually get a house (I’ve saved more than enough for a chunk ‘a downpayment so won’t need to sell). Plus, having a condo in San Diego is step 1 in my 5-step road-to-retirement program.
