I knew I'd rent for about another 5 to 6 years. I set it up that way because I knew I'd be moving around. I also knew I'd want the freedom to move around. I will eventually want to sit in one spot for more than 5 years, but not right now. Besides, I haven't seen enough spots yet to know what spot I want to sit in.
Had I known the market was going to blossom like it did I would have bought back in 2004 and sold in 2007 for double the price. But I made a lot more in those years then I would have made on the house anyway so I don't feel like whoa is me about it.
