Ding ding ding!

In some places, real estate is just rediculous.. example: here in San Diego, prices are just out of control. To "own" my condo, mortgage+homeowners+insurance would be about $7500/month. Rent is less than half that. I can earn much more on my money by investing.

Nothing is applicable 100% of the time..
