Hi, thank you.

My question is, my husband and I are on baby steps two and four, and we paid off all of our debt.

We're on two.

We were on four, then we bought a car.

I know.

Um, so here's my question.

Kicking myself, but we're enjoying the car, so we'll get there.

Um, here's my question.

We own a home here in California and my husband recently was given a job opportunity about two hours away at the coast.

Um,

which would be fantastic for his career, for a stepping stone, future job, advancement, things like that.

Obviously, the cost of living at the beach is much, much higher than where we are now, but the quality of life we would have there would be way better than what we have now, I would say.

We have some family in the area over there, and the climate is much better.

Is it wise to keep our house as a rental here and move over there knowing that the potential is there for a long-term rental with very little chance of actually owning property?

Yes, with the potential of moving back here to retire someday.

Okay.

We still have a mortgage, yeah.

We have about $165 in equity.

$450.

Yeah, mm-hmm.
