Well if you aren't investing in property as a principle residence, then relocating is moot. You can still get a huge amount of value investing into the housing market looking to cash flow, not buy your potential forever home. And, so long as you don't any old house on the market, but instead take your time, do your research, and expect to hold it for longer than 10 years, your risks are substantially lower. Which is true for a lot of investing. Time in market is king. And it doesn't matter how long you spend in the market if you buy ignorantly for well over market value.
