For instance, the job in Denver is a sure thing, it's a job. Will I be able to find a job in the Reno / Tahoe area? On the other hand, it's a sales job, which is the one thing I said that I didn't want to do again. But it is a job!
Then there's the cost of housing: Let's say I wanted to spend $450K on a house. In Evergreen, Colorado I could buy a 3,000sf house in Incline Village I could only buy a 1400sf house. Little house versus big house. A possibility is to look at houses in nearby Truckee, California where houses are a little bit less expensive. For the record, Evergreen is a lovely area, it's where I spent the month of September. It doesn't however make my heart leap the way Incline does. What is a leaping heart worth?
Let's see, I could live in a big house doing a job I'm not crazy about or live in a small house doing what job? Will I be able to find a job in the area? By the way, I have contacted a new real estate agent in Incline who I hope will be able to work with me on the search.
So that's where I stand tonight.
Post script: the real estate agent I emailed replied by the time I finished this post! She said she'd be happy to work with me, has houses and condos in my price range, and even sent along a couple links to rental properties. My goal for today was to find an agent to work with...goal accomplished!
