I don't know if you read USAToday but there was a good article about a couple who moved from San Diego to El Paso in the 1980s. They sold their home in San Diego for only $1xx,xxx. Now their home in El Paso since then in the last 13 years has only gone up $32,000 while their house that they sold in San Diego went up over $750,000! Luck and timing definetely weren't on their side.

I should have bought a home about 4 years ago in CT but I wasn't sure if I was going to move or not. I should have bought something close to NYC perhaps in the Stamford area or fairfield county, I would have made a killing by now. Live and learn I guess. Now I am still unsure what to do as homes are already inflated. Since I am young I want to make sure whatever I buy will make me a little bit in a few years, even if it won't be the 50%+ growth we have seen lately. I need to just settle my *** somewhere so I can start buying property.

My friend has already done this, he bought a really ugly 1950's house a couple years back and then sold it and bought a bigger home already and now owns 4 other homes that he rents out. Man I could probably have had at least a half a million or more by now in property.

Exactly.
The value of our home as nearly tripled over the last 6 yrs. I'm sooooooo glad I bought it when I did, or there's probably no way I could afford to buy in our neighborhood now...

Haha, that was my work break when I had nothing major going on and I didn't sleep at all, we're talking about 5-6 hours a week. But, look at us now. Resorting to weak post whoring tactics... Sad

I remeber the nights of 300-400 post :v
