I’m not sure why an “inner-city property” would be more risky than say a rural property.

I believe the “your house is not an asset “ thing started with Robert Kiyosaki ( rich dad poor dad )Some say a personal house isn’t an asset since It doesn’t generate income , but in the definition of asset there is nothing that says something has to generate monthly income to be an asset .How long do you plan to stay in San Diego ?

I would say a 15 is bad if you are paying any points or fees on it.

The true value of obtaining an MBA from say a top 10 program (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Michigan, etc.) is the colleagues you will meet and interact with.

Account ClosedWhen you say a three day retreat what exactly do you mean?

If you buy a house where rents are rising, say a $1000 rent rises to $1030 or $1040 per month in year 2 and so forth in each subsequent year... 

Let's just say a $200,000 home for give or take $5,000 down after closing costs.

@Steven Quails  Those that are new to BP (even old members, LOL) may take what I say as negative, I understand that, disagree at your own peril and I  don't know everything. 

Lets say a Flood Zone X.
