    Thanks Joec,
    It is important for me to keep a tab on general people’s opinion as this gives me an entry point to market: be it stock or housing.

    I invested a bunch in stock and in housing in 2011 when every one said not to do so… I think I did decently good.

    I am looking for more opportunities like this.

    This time, it may not be interest rates, something different….

    We’d see..

    I think the wildcard is interest rate
    Right now, the govt is propping up a lot of prices here n there by keeping rates low.
    Not sure how do you differentiate crash Vs correction. But as we all agree, a correction is coming both in stock market and housing market.
    I see a lot of people dis-agreeing saying “this time is different” but history has taught us otherwise.

    A correction is due, the reasons may not be the same. So each time is indeed different.

    I agree and believe from my common man/sense perspective that a rising interest rate would decrease the prices of the homes as most of the people buy based on monthly payments..

    Ran some high level numbers for condos to buy to rent out. I didn’t see anyway I could have + cashflow.
    I was looking in desirable areas known to me and not at run down property.

    I agree that properties needing repairs/renovations are not really priced accordingly. Thus I’d prefer a property with some renovations already done…
    Also, I am bad at fixing/handy-man-ish kind of thing and even if I do it myself, it takes my time away from kids which won’t work for me.

    Of course, I’ve seen people twisting data in different ways..
    Data is just one of many parameters for us to analyze.

    My own company is creating the newer positions out of san diego as it is not sustainable for engineers to live here in san diego.

    Home prices would drop for sure in san diego, it’s a matter of time..

    Per my experience, san diego is not the best place to call this as permanent base job keeping in mind the flight of jobs to cheaper cost places along with difficult to do business in CA.
    This is at-least what I see from anecdotal evidences.

    If san diego is like LA or SFO, I understand but..

    I really don’t care what others think of me. I have my own mantra of living my life on my own term.
    A lot of people think I am bit weird 🙂

    Human body is meant to be always doing something.

    All the material comforts we have meant nothing for human body. The comforts works against the body…

    The way to grow old is labor which is not too hard on the body..

    PhD in Engineering really won’t help you earn more money.
    If one is passionate about research then it makes sense but from monetary stand point it does.
    Even master’s in EE does not really make senses

    Speaking from experience by observing few of my friends…

    How much people building homes or pulling weeds from lawns get ?
    Doe sit mean that only these kind of low paying jobs would be left.

    This topic is close to my heart as I am witnessing almost firsthand how the high paying jobs ( 150K+ ) are being eaten away by low cost sources and AI/automation.

    People saying that these would create another set of jobs at a higher level is simply hog wash..

    Don’t have time to write a long post, may be some other time..
