[quote=spdrun]You LIE. Take the job in Phoenix, buy something that’s suitable as a rental, get yourself fired, then rent it out and hightail it the hell back to CA. (And yes, you’ll pay a higher rate to get that flexibility, but it’s worth it.)
Also, if he can buy $350k of property in Phoenix, he can do the same in Escondildo or Visduh. Rent expense doesn’t count if you’re officially buying a primary.[/quote]
So you’re saying what I said. Go, try it. Decide you like it or not.
And yes, he could buy a $350K place here too. He said that. I think he implied $350K isnt’ that great. Or yea, he could move to Visduh. Now what’s the real difference between Visduh and Phoenix?
IMHO, if you don’t live within bike riding distance of the beach, the reality is most people are lucky to go once or twice a year. Surfers included, it’s amazing how many surfboards you see in garages East of I5 versus how many you see driving down to the beach from east of the I5…
And call me old fashion, I try to minimize my options that start out “you LIE” 🙂
