[quote=AN]I thought I answer you many times already where my limit is. It’s where rent is vs my mortgage. I can’t tell you how much price have to fall to cause rent to fall. If price doesn’t fall and rent fall 50%, I’d be a lot less OK than of price drop 50% and rent doesn’t. Is that so hard to comprehend?[/quote]I’d say we’ve beat a dead horse here, but it seems pretty obvious that I was asking for more tangible figures. You seemed okay with it when the discussion was about flipping your place.

I understand that it’s hard to do in practice, so I’ve let go. That said, I jumped initially because you claimed that you actually want prices to drop. I’d say that you are in a *very* small minority.

and since you added this…[quote=zzz]And don’t listen to the haters, as many people have said, buying a house your family lives in isn’t just about the numbers and you really don’t need to justify it to anyone.[/quote]

AN is the one bringing the (positive) numbers. From where I sit, he’s the one repeatedly justifying the purchase. Please, go enjoy, but if you’re going to spout questionable (as in none of us know) bullishness (especially here), be prepared to defend…

[quote=zzz]AN, I’m amazed people are picking apart your comments.[/quote]I pick apart his comments because I believe they are oftentimes misleading. This thread is a particular (and recurring) example of that. I guess it’s okay to play what-if and “hint” that Mira Mesa is going up in value?

[quote=AN]You are confused, since you forgot where you started. If I can rent my for less than my mortgage, then YES, I won’t be OK anymore. Do you understand now?[/quote]

I haven’t been confused, even for a moment, but now that your example has been used to explain my point, I’ll ask again. How much do you think (roughly) that your house has to fall in value for you to not be so darn okay with it all?

Let’s go back to reasonable. If your down payment was consumed in 3 years time, you’re still doing great?

[edit]
Actually, never mind. (even though this was the original question I asked). It’s at least clear to me that you’ve got a limit. You’re just reluctant to share it.
