[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 679303, member: 18958"] I had not known that. It seems like a good strategy to me to get the appreciation but have somebody else to pay for it. I am from a big metropolitan area in CA. I had houses in the Metro area but had left for one reason or another, and I lost ground. Renting to others would have been a good strategy, but I was always over my head with either responsibilities or goals. When the housing crash happened I bought (like you but farther out, still) where the commute to most jobs is 2 hours each way. People still do it. But not me. I temporarily relocate where the work is. And I have a type of work where I can work where I live if I want. This is such an interesting topic for me because it has defined my life. My home is a central part of who I am. It used to be where the house was. Amenities. Culture. Urbanity. I have found that as I got old, the house itself, my security, my sense of comfort with the people, increasingly are more important. I will relocate temporarily to get what I need in another place, but return home. M my Significant Other says the latter pattern is typical in where he is from, Mexico. People buy one house for their whole lives and for the lives of their children, hopefully. They will travel hours to get to work or temporarily relocate without their family to keep their home. If the house becomes too small, they build up, or extend the house in the yard or patio. It is interesting how we change. COPA [/QUOTE]
