What a shame. Enjoy reading your posts. Just because you are probably 5 years too young, you are put in a horrible predicament. In 1999, after losing out on one condo offer after another, I put a deposit for another year lease. Luckily, (I think)I pulled back deposit the next day and we got into condo a few months later and then upgraded to a house. Otherwise, I would have left just like you. I think most of us at this board are very conservative and didn’t buy a boatload of investment homes. It turns out the masses who didn’t think ending with the big profits, at least more than 2 years ago.
I have lived in several cities, Chicago, Detroit, Sandusky(OH). I think you may like Ann Arbor, MI if the prices aren’t too high. I know the Detroit suburbs are very nice and very affordable.
If we haven’t had our meetup for this quarter it would be nice to meet to hook up.
