OT/CP AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaarrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!

Christina,
Would renting the house out be an option? Just make sure the rent is enough
to pay the taxes, insurance and water bills. Tenant to pay their own
utilities, of course. Just a thought.

yes, 54. I know homes are really high anymore, but here most cannot afford
it, not even us. we just don't have the job base.

Oh man, 54K? If only I could buy a house for less than 100K!. Or even
200K! When I did my taxes the H&R program calculated that I could own a
200K+ house and the mortgage would be the same as my rent! But in
Seattle
you are looking at at least 250, more like 300 for any kind of house!
Some
of you guys might remember we thought about buying the house we rent a
couple of years ago... but we are still renting it. I hate having that
money go down the drain, and there are so many things I would change in
this house which would increase it's value. But we decided we'd think
about it again when we get the permanent residency and figure out if we
are staying her or looking for faculty jobs (which could be anywhere at
all).
