Any thoughts?
I have been thinking about this for ages. Maybe someone else has a perspective or something I have yet to consider that will help.
The conundrum:
I have enough to build mortgage free in a cheap suburb or 90% of what I need for a really nice suburb but no way to get a loan for at least another year.
Factors:
Land is scarce and more so in the nice suburb
The nice suburb is closer to facilities we use all the time
Kids will need to be driven around more in the cheap suburb - no public transport except school bus
I am currently paying rent
My current housing situation is 'difficult' for all of us
I may have to move cities in next 3-4 years but would probably want to move back here later
There isn't any work around at present and I'm not sure when there will be or if I will be employable
Throw some ideas at me. I can only confuse myself more. LOL.
