Thank you irvinerenter. How sustainable are food and energy prices when wage inflation is not growing? For example, we just saw the huge spike in oil prices, metals, and agriculture collapse when the economy turn south. What is the actual cause and effect here? Do we need spending power for...

We purchase last year but chose turtle rock over other neighborhoods further north because of hotter weather the further north we go. We are kind of on a hill also so I guess our place might be cooler than most since we get a breeze. Our summer bills are less than $35 bucks a month.

Vaseline, It probably affects a kid more after settling at one location for while then to change 7 schools in one year. I have one relative and one friend who have just been byirely different people after moving away from their friends. I however do think it depends on the individual.

I guess the question should be more on your investment horizon. If you are planning to make a 30 year investment then buying a house now is probably not a bad idea. If you are going to track it like stocks in real time and looking to sell it, you should invest using rental parity. But rental...

Can someone clarify what is the official rule on number of cars/parking spots for a sfr with 3 or 4 bedrooms? I have a 5 bedroom place but only a three car garage. my drive way is big enough for 3 more cars so would that be considered 6 parking spots or just three? Just a curious question.
