> Get a new 2000sq ft 4 bedroom home for $150k-$200k within 15min drive of the beach. Wow, and that is exactly my point. For what is barely a down payment out west you could theoretically just buy a home outright. Imagine the equivalent in the bay area or LA, it'd be $3 million+. Even in Seattle or Portland it'd be $700k-800k+ or likely higher given their trendy status.
