I don’t think you need to worry about prices running away but it is only a matter of time until interest rates do.

Be more concerned about taking a big loss. If you were to be forced to sell within the next couple of years, you will eat it big time. A great mortgage won’t help you if you can’t afford it. I wouldn’t expect any appreciation in the short term and you will lose 10% in buying/selling expenses.

You don’t have enough saving to insure that you can sell on your terms and your credit may not support a good loan.

It sounds like you should be able to save $1500 a month so you should be able to build cash fairly quickly. In two years you will be in good shape to buy with better credit.

No but one next door might have….

My divider split the dine in knotty pine kitchen from the living room. My 3 x 3 ft front entrance opened directly to the living room.

I think the whole neighborhood had 4 floorplans (8 with mirroring).

I bought my 1st house in 1982. It was the much discussed 1200 sqft 3 bed/2 bath, in my case in Mission Village (near the stadium). It cost $87K and my 12.75% FHA mortgage was over $900 at the time.

I just looked in the same neighborhood and I think you could buy the same house with improvements for under $400K. Given current interest rates, I think it is more affordable today than it was 30 years ago.

In the winter, after the water temperature falls below 70 degrees, I run mine for 4 hrs every 2 weeks. I do keep chemicals balanced and net out leaves. I have never seen this recommended but concluded I could do so after my pump controller died and nothing really bad happened. Don’t neglect to monitor the chemistry, maintain algicide levels, and remove leaves/debris though.

During the season, you want to turn the water over at least once a day. possibly twice if it is used heavily or you get lots of leaves and trash.

For a 20000 gallon pools with a 2HP pump that flows 80 gallons/minute: 20000/80 = 250 minutes = 4.2 hours.

I don’t think there are any hard fast rules on how long to run the filter. If it looks good, it is good.

If you are now running 8 hour a day a slow pump speed, that may be perfectly reasonable. The big savings was probably reducing your effective filter time in turnovers/day.
