ParticipantThere’s always the question “will you atually be employed in Winter of 2009?”
I think everyone needs to seriously consider the risk of this. The economic bad news seems to be coming in an endless stream now.
Your down payment cash may need to towards paying rent for several months. If it is already spent on a purchase, there goes your cushion.
It makes alot of sense to wait until we are past the recession to buy, just on the chance your employment situation changes.

ParticipantI’d say Temecula is significantly ahead of the OC in the cycle. I’d say TG’s purchase does not apply.
I think you are right about the bailouts slowing down the process. I can imagine how frustrating it is for folks like you.
I’d guess late 2009 would buy you quite a bit if you are looking above the condo/small house level.

November 10, 2008 at 10:44 PM in reply to: Anyone else notice how cheap technology things have become? #302538sdduuuude
ParticipantFor cheap, look on ebay for a really old model – like a Garmin GPS III or something like that.
I have one. It is several years old. B/W screen. Anchient maps. No navigation guide. Still, it does two things well: Lat and Long. It would probably serve you well on your hike.
It has some nice features, too. You can offload data to a PC, or plug into a serial port on a laptop and superimpose the lat/long in real time on some mapping applications.
They gotta be $50 on ebay.
