Ive committed myself to not getting a home in Cali. 500k would be a bit hard for my family since I'm the only income (wife is in school for her RN). But anything less than that puts us in a bad area... Cali is frickin ridiculous in its home values. So were thinking town home, or something along those lines. two car garage is a must though. I'm just tired of renting homes and throwing money into the drain.
