ParticipantIf you have to borrow from your 401K to get the 20% down, do not buy. Seriously.
When you have 20% down, AND at least 6-12 months salary in cash as an emergency fund then consider it. Look at the world economy right now!
Sounds like you are almost there now, so if you saved up the rest of this year you’d probably be in good shape. Plus, as mentioned prices are only going one direction right now.
Now, for those saying go rent $2,500 for a couple years. That’s $30,000 a year in rent. In 3 years is the house you are looking at going to lose $90,000 in value?
I’d say suck it up at least 1 more year where you are at now, save up, then strike. Your goal here is really to stay employed, and get the majority of the price corrections taken care of before the rent costs vs. price declines cross.
Just my .02.

100 Recruiters; unless you are referring to a different batch.
Is there really any surprise there? If you aren’t hiring, you probably don’t need 100 recruiters. 🙂

ParticipantI don’t recall ever reading anything on the blog that would justify any lawsuit.
Virtually all of the information provided was public information, and then freedom of speech commentary.
The only thing that is jumping into my head is perhaps he purchased in one of the neighborhoods or homes he actually featured on his blog. I’m not close to anything of a lawyer, but maybe there is a no-no somewhere in there if some of his information was incorrect @ helped to lower the sale price based on false information.
Who knows. Heck if you can sue for spilling hot coffee on your lap… or for getting injured while breaking into someone’s house… why not for some comments on a blog.
Miss the blog, wish it would come back.
