I lived in Vegas for a bit, your money will go a lot further out there than in Irvine. A million dollars will buy you a large home on the golf course with a view of the strip.Cklein said:I actually agree, that's why I have been delaying this home buying for a long time.
But now, it's not about waste any more, somebody told me it's about asset diversafication, which makes a lot sense.
That's why I said in another post, the number does not come out right owning a home. But it's not a perfect world.
I even thought about moving away to Texas. The pain of paying state tax just kills me.

Buy a home in Irvine and buy a home in Las Vegas. Get a Nevada driver's license and set up your residency there and your tax returns and work related items will be mailed to your Nevada address (assuming the way that you generate your income has nothing to do with doing business in CA). Irvine will be "second" home where you can live 99% of the time.Cklein said:I am OK with CA housing price. Just don't want to pay the state TAX.

Here in US, I want to try different life style.

thedude111222 said:anyone who has knowledge of the information, what has the rate of appreciation on condos and even detached condos in Irvine been over the past 5 years? how does that compare to traditional SFRs during the same time span? I know there is a difference but would like empirical data...
