I spent four years bouncing around various junior colleges while I worked full time after HS, then got a degree at CSUF.
Today I work at a top 5 global consultancy where I help Fortune 100 companies improve their sales function. Most of my colleagues went to Ivy or other top public schools...
Yes. ALL OF THIS. I'm also specifically intent on staying in Beckman as we sell our current home and look for an upgrade in Tustin Ranch, West Irvine, OH. Appreciation has nothing to do with it for me -- just where I will enjoy living and raising my family.
I'm guessing P4/X is $1.525-1.545M
I think the plans look good.
What is the demographic makeup of the OH neighborhoods? Same as the other new Irvine neighborhoods?
Another benefit for an IAC renter is that you don't have to pay the lease cancellation fee, which is $3k for me. So between that in the few thousand in renters equity, it's a sizable difference.
Your home is worth more now because you rode out the downturn. That is exactly my point ... if you buy high now, be prepared to have to live through the dip that is bound to come. I see pricing falling when interest rates rise, which is bound to happen.
This is ridiculous. The impact is that if you buy a home right now, you have to LOVE IT... that is, you need to be prepared to live there at least 10 years because it is very possible/likely that buyers today could be under water in 6 years when they want to upgrade.
