Thanks for providing one of the more interesting threads about real estate for a long time…everyone here bought around 20008-2011 that it’s been a ghost town with actual real estate topics.
If your wife is asian, good luck trying to live somewhere else. Her “face” won’t allow her to live in south or east county and you’d be fighting a losing battle I think as mentioned trying to force where to live (as a guy)…
You’re lucky you’re not in the bay area with the small amount of funds you have to buy. Maybe your wife’s parent’s can help “chip” in, but the downside of that is they will and can stop by anytime now to see the grandkids.
