Is this a good deal in Scripps ?

5yes your post cracked me up and is right: I know for a fact that if I had children my mother and my 12 siblings will be sending truckloads. I live alone and already I get a room full of kitsch every holiday. I think college money is the best gift idea ever! Gotta send some for my niece now.

I also heartily accept SDR’s viewpoint although it is different than mine. I don’t have children but will one day and I can already see that my ideas for raising children are radically different than those of most people I know.

Your $2000 calculation is off by the fact that you can get close to 5% return on your downpayment of 80K which is $300 monthly. Also add atleast 0.5% for maintenance per year or $120 per month. Your total for owning this place is above $2500 and the home is not going to appreciate from current value in next 5 years.

DON’T BUY.

If you’re going to have children, condo is probably not the way to go. For the same money I’d get a real house with a real backyard even if it’s a bit older and in a less ritzy neighborhood. There are many 3br and even some 4br houses on sale in Poway and Mira Mesa for less than 400k.

3 bedrooms should be okay if you’re certain that you won’t have more than one child.

As a rule of thumb, if it’s listed for more than its early ’03 Zillow value, it’s overpriced.

nostradamus as long as you raise em with love and a firm hand then you cannot go wrong whether your ideas are different or not. just try not to plop them in front of the tv to much… it is very tempting.
