If we can get $50k/year out of a house, we could change up the job situation and still end up ahead even with lower salaries...[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2017 10:34 pmNothing will appreciate all that well in two years that you guys tend to spend somewhere unless you go somewhere people what to live (which tends to be the places you don't want to go).

Picking places that we liked in the short term was our past strategy and we lost out on $200k+ by doing that. We won't buy a place we like again until it's our death house...

I think now that so many perks lucked out like that in the last few years after the crash, everyone is into it and trying to replicate, meaning prices are going shooting up at an unsustainable rate. Buying now to try to make money is a poor choice, IMO.
I'm in kind of a similar situation to , will elaborate with some pricing links later. It's cool that I have controlled rent via my gf's townhouse, but we're in the boonies which I don't really love and getting back into the city in an actual decent place seems like a near impossibility now.

The real question is... should one sell. I'm in a unique position to do so. However I'd have to move in with my dad at 33 ... it would be the ultimate move. I don't want to live in the area where I'm at and I want to relocate ... it seems like it would make sense to sell right meow

6-18 months. There has to be a market correction that is in the works and at that point I want to change jobs to work and live in sf.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 4:39 pmWhat is the maximum time sustainability of this course of action?max225 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 4:30 pm The real question is... should one sell.

But I'd be cashing out a very good amount of money at that point.
However I'd essentially be a bum

Yeah I dunno man. A real estate correction in SF proper hasn't really happened ever? I guess it would hit Eastbay first.max225 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 4:48 pm6-18 months.

I guess renting is out of the question due to price? I wouldn't want to do the parent thing even though they're cool... Just... No. I wouldn't do the roommate thing again either. There comes a time in life where that stuff is just a big and for me that's 28 apparently.max225 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 4:30 pm The real question is... should one sell.

That's a really tough call, I'm sure with the rising values, you have a lot of cash in the house, which is cool, but what if SF doesn't drop? Could you afford anything at current prices? It's a big risk that could end up forcing you to leave the area if it doesn't work out right.

SF prices aren't going anywhere. Is this seriously a discussion?

Unless the current tech bubble pops big time (which I consider unlikely) the most "dip" will just be no growth in values. Prices will never go down unless "the big one" hits and CA breaks off into the ocean.
Having something in that area couldn't be safer. Selling is full because you'll never be able to get back into the market.

If you're willing to move in with Dad, why not do that and hold onto your place and just rent it out? Have some other schmuck pay your mortage for you while you at Dad's place and then if prices keep climbing for another year or two you can sell closer to the top of the market...max225 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 4:30 pm The real question is... should one sell.

The ultimate move, but holy fuck. Part of the reason you work and make money is independence, yes?

Come on people.
If money is that fucking important, you REALLY need to re-evaluate your priorities in life.

The assumption is that we have topped out... the whole point is to cash out and use that money for something else. That something else is not something I have determined yet.SAWCE wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 1:23 pmIf you're willing to move in with Dad, why not do that and hold onto your place and just rent it out?

I just don't see how companies can afford to be here long term. It is way too expensive to operate out of California. And our real estate prices are completely insane.
I am just worried that there is a startup bubble here... too many companies that make no money and pay their employees 200k a year to do nothing but lose more money.
It is over here.

But for real, my dad is getting older, I can see having him move in with me eventually to take care of him.
