ParticipantWhat happens at year 8? Will you stay or will you go? sounds like a song…
If you have to go, then the debt service on the purchase and rehab costs probably will be greater than renting. You also have flexibility.
Since you are planning on having kids, the schools and neighborhood will probably outweigh your commuting time in importance. So what I’m saying, is to rent close to work or university now and learn the area. When you have kids, they will be young enough to relocate without school and friends problems. Oh and watch the HOA and MelloRoos fees. This combined with utility costs can have a significant impact on your monthly cash flow.
And the market just may be even more favorable to a buyer in a year or two 😉
November 8, 2009 at 11:00 AM in reply to: House crams healthcare bill down the countries throat. #479048ParticipantStrategically now is the time, with a majority in the House/Senate/Pres, the dems should ‘cram’ as much through as possible.
There are many disgruntled dem voters who are quite likely going to vote out the old guard–Pelosi, Reid, even Obama starting with the 2010 elections. The main factor being lack of jobs. Best forecasts seem to point to the economy staying flat or a slow uptick in 2011.
Assuming there will be shift in power there will not be another good time to push healthcare, cap/trade, etc. for many years. And yes, those buy Democrat voters.
Even then it will take decades to undo these policies.
You’re right BSR it still comes down to the individual voters who put these guys in power.
If only we were growing a generation of voters who think and analyze and not simply buy the political rhetoric.

ParticipantBrian, Brian, Brian. I’m amused at your attempt to get the real estate guys riled up. But you are flat wrong to think that more government support will help the economy.
Pick up a book on economics, Thomas Sowell has some good fast reads. You will learn that government spending is simply someone else deciding how to your money should be spent. Is the government so much smarter that the populace? If you agree with this premise that you wish for a socialist system, which incidentally, never flourish in the long run. Read that econ book.
Our nation was founded upon personal independence and drive to succeed. Let the free market prevail and everyone benifits.
Lets take a look at our upcoming Xmas shopping season and the early winter cold upon the midwest and east. You will have to agree that without jobs it’s going to be a hardship for those families to heat their homes and shop for gifts.
So if the government really wanted to help them, they could relax the government roadblocks to allowing cheaper energy. Drilling, nuclear, etc. That alone would put more money in everyone’s pocket that they would then spend thus growing the economy.
Just redistributing wealth through social programs is much akin to giving you kid an allowance. It doesn’t motivate him to find a way to earn more.
Enough for now.
