Aiming_4_55
Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I'm wrestling with the idea of buying/upgrading my current house if I can purchase a short sale or foreclosure. Just like everyone, I'm wondering when the real estate market will recover, but realistic that could take 5 - 10 years.
Should I buy a newer larger house and convert my current home into a rental as it'll pay most of my new mortgage payment?
Overall the change will not impact FIRE. I still predict retiring by 55 (a long ways off) or earlier either way. Just another responsibility.
Thoughts?
