If you are planning on staying in the bay area for 10 years to save money, why not move some place with a lower COL and buy a house that might appreciate significantly in those ten years? You can make good money in Austin.
- magduf 8y agoThere's no guarantee housing will appreciate, in fact it's a pretty good bet that it won't.
