Participant[quote=JPJones]You should buy a place there! I hear housing is cheap. XD
Once you’ve bought a place and moved up, report back after Winter so we can see how well this opinion holds up. No? Still good? Try again after summer. It broke 100 this year and if you think AC is scarce in SD, boy have I got news for you!
Canada isn’t better or worse than the US. It’s just a little different.[/quote]
I live in Temecula . We broke 100 all summer and I don’t have ac.
Vancouver seasonal lows are actually comparable to Temecula, not NYC.
Canada has water.
But I’m too old to make this move.

But if you have a 500k mortgage and much more than that in monies to possibly pay it off, and you refi, you are gambling you can do better than the interest rate you’re paying, after tax.
Gambling. Yep. Not a bad bet, but gambling.

uh… no[/quote]ok. a pile of money to “invest” and hopefully beat the 2.5% you have to pay, really 3.0 percent return before taxes. a couple negatvie years and you will be a long time coming back at a small interest rate differential arbitrage.[/quote]
History said no. Not hoping but historical data.[/quote]history?
past results do not predict future returns.

ParticipantI’ve eaten many cows over a lifetime, but the thought of eating meat now makes me want to vomit. People change. I think anyone who fully faced reality would not want that meat.

Who said it was sitting in a checking account doing nothing? There are many places you can invest. More real estates or the stock market. How much has rent gone up over the last couple of years?[/quote]You can lose money too, waiting for interest arbitrage opportunity.
