Hey Lauren - love to hear that you guys have the gears spinning and are ready to embark on your real estate journey!

The market is a bit saturated, and there are a few hundred units under development right now, so that may get a little worse before it levels off.

TLDR: not sure how to maximize about 380k worth of cash in the next 5 years or lessFamily is well off, and will be giving each child 250k after our nana passes, and once they have a primary residence and can qualify for it w/out help from the family.

Despite what this site is all about, real estate doesn't have to be all about the best deal, it can also be a place to enjoy life.Alright, I'm off my soap box.
