O.K. san diego I would say the 90’s were pretty good to you.Actually YOU did a good job there.YOU are Responsible for that. I wouldn’t agree that RE is underrated from that experience. If you had stayed there you were also on easy street or if you had done a lateral trade and looked hard for value at the time you moved you would have been in relatively good shape.
It sounds like you are determined to leave.Look at what you are doing to your neighbors who are good guys like you and paid big down payments and had good guy type loans. Make sure you think about how unfair it is for you to live there for free when your neighbors are overpaying, If you take that choice. Are the kitchen cabinets nice? I might buy them from you.
I know you didn’t say you were going to do those things I am just responding to some strange morality running through this thread in places. Even this “walk clause” is wierd to me. If it is there fine,I know you have hte right to walk, but that is just a scandalous as the things you don’t like about this stupid bubble imho.
