Since you have lot of money

[fun4vnay2]

Since you have lot of money for cash down, I’d say invest in some good relatively safe place to get you 4-5% return.

In couple of years, when and if the interest rates hit high, I am sure the prices would come down

Real estate prices in CA are cyclical in general and if anyone says otherwise, please look at the history.

Of course no one knows the future..
