Don’t sell your old house. Take equity out for your down payment, get something smaller than what you really want, and make money off renting out your old one. It’ll be passive income for the rest of your life with minimal work on your part. It will be an asset that grows in value.

It’s a risk, but if it happens you can write it off as a loss on your taxes. I’d love to get a $20k - $30k deduction.

Unfortunately, our once lily white town has had a construction boom and has changed hue considerably.

One way or another, we'll be moving somewhere within a year.
Sadly, they tend to get shipped in no matter where you are.

Very true. But real estate and property is historically one of the safest investments. And the tax breaks are retarded; they’re written by rich people for rich people.
