I know you have made your decision but let me add a quick comment about Wawanesa.

Were were initially told we lived too close to an open area. I asked for an on-site inspection and was approved.

I had a car stolen as well and it was a battle with StateFarm to prove value. The adjuster finally caved after I sent them a recent photo with our (then) puppy sitting in front of the car. That photo ‘proved’ the value I was asking for. After that, we talked longer about dogs than cars.

Does SDG&E or anyone have a website that publishes average electric/gas costs by zip code? Would be handy.

You will need a civil engineer to design the retaining wall. City requires it but it is for your own peace of mind as well.

Depending on the size of the cut and the height of the hill these ‘little’ retaining walls can run into mid 5 figures and easily higher for a big project.

Your kids will be thrilled to see all the heavy equipment and cement trucks rolling up close!

Did I miss something? Family income is $215K or about $12K/mo less taxes.

Tempe rent 1K plus SD rent 2.5K totals $3500/mo

Should be plenty of money to carry the condo, even empty no rent, while providing additional tax benefits.

Not thrilled with the idea of walking and letting bank hold the bag, which ultimately costs everyone in the long run.

My suggestion is to preserve your capital by staying the course and rent the condo at a loss. You are correct it is a slow bleed, but I think it is the best direction. And was previously mentioned, try carrying the paper on a sale. For the right buyer, it may work for all.

And my final bet is that if you are making $90K part time, you have a knack or are a major type A person who will continue to work even with a family of 5. Which is that much better for your immediate cash flow.

I hope not at the expense of the kids. Not to be mean; just making a sweeping generalization.

Good Luck.
