One thing I did during the time off...
After taking a transfer to Ohio I found me a fixer-upper buying it for a total of $9,800 after tax breaks (and this was not a repro or short sale). I spent a total of 90 hours labor and $6,000 getting new carpet, paint, bathroom and the rest up to shape so I could move in. It's really not a bad place now, not exactly the best area (working class neighborhood) but far from the worse either and much cheaper then renting not to mention alot more room...
I kept the house in Kentucky on the lake to hopefully retire to and figure at worse I'll give this one to my kids when that day comes.
