Unless that's your only aspiration already :)I think what you're trying to get at is you want to make that sweet, sweet Bay Area salary and subsidize your living costs at the same time.

I was pulled for a sweet little house in a historic district and was pretty excited.

Sweet, I thought.After I sent in the required docs, the rate for a 20% down loan was 4.5%, whether conventional or portfolio.

A pretty sweet set up.  

I find these to be the sweet spot in my market, and those don't come close to touching the 1% rule.

And if you are bored - bring me one or two of them sweet deals :)   1.

Xing: sweet thanks for clarifying that.

After speaking with them, you find out 40 of them are unemployed, want to move in with five friends and 12 dogs, are 18 with no Landlord reference, won't have the deposit until they get their tax return in February and will start paying rent in June, don't have the $20 application fee but they will as soon as their buddy pays for the tires he sold, etc.You get a lot of "lookie-loos" because they're not really interested/motivated but they're checking to see if you're a sucker willing to give them a really sweet deal.

If you don't, $10k a month is pretty sweet.

Must be sweet to have had an extra 150k in the 70s.
