Video Overview
The video begins with a letter about a family's future living arrangements. The writer lives in Southern California, one child attends college in Northern California, the other will enter college in two years, and her spouse may work in their home country for several years. She once considered an investment property but instead placed spare funds in QQQ. Friends now suggest selling the current home in two years and buying in Northern California so the children can visit. She is also considering returning to her home country while renting out the house, or selling it and no longer owning a home in the United States. The speaker argues against buying around children's still-uncertain future workplaces. He recommends waiting until both have graduated and found stable work, then choosing where to live and potentially renting nearby. Views about locations, property, and investing belong to the writer or speaker.
