I think most people rent before they make the first home purchase, so none of these applies? I either sublet or buy-out my lease

I see. If none applies, please don't vote.

Sold it. Made a few hundreds and used that to upgrade to a better bigger home.

Never sell real estate.

There is risk of earthquake, and flood.

Sold my home out of state. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough of a profit to even make a down payment. Now stuck renting in the Bay Area indefinitely. Want to get out and transfer to another office but stuck due to spouse’s job.

You work at facebook. With that compensation, don't think there's a problem owning a place here.

Was in the same boat, dude. Seattle was the answer.

For those who rented out, is the rental cash flow positive?
