[quote=Russell]Great plan, scaredy. Your wife might see the advantages of the cheap place at some point. Life might make it look better than it does now…or you go with your plan to rent it out, or save it for the kids or something. Good hedge, nothing to worry about.Great way to realize some stability by creating a no-can-lose situation that you can fall back on or keep.[/quote]
Agree with Russell on this. Sounds like a decent idea as long as it’s in a safe area for the family. Cheap is great, but it’s not worth risking your lives. Also, consider whether or not you can live there long-term (like the rest of your lives). If the answer is “yes,” it’s a no-brainer.
If it’s “cheap” just because of the carpets, etc., go for it! (I’m sooooo envious of you guys in Temecula!!!) 🙁
