hi ladies
it''s so funny how ''in tune'' our PS community seems to be. I am in the position now where we are trying to decide our next move and I wasn''t sure about posting because it''s so off-topic from rings and diamonds ......... but Ally and Teebee already have the ball rolling so I am going to throw my hat into the ring too!
we are hoping to buy a home before the end of the year. our ''uncertainty'' is what to buy and how to decide. we know we are not planning on staying in Boston but at the same time we need to be here for another two to two-and-a-half, maybe even three, years. I sometimes feel we should buy a condo in the city (for better resale) or a two-family which we could possibly rent when we move, so that it will continue to bring in income. He feels we should buy a nice house, with garden and the whole works, on the very off-chance that we end up having to stay longer than we now anticipate.
any thoughts ???
also, we have been thinking of talking to a financial adviser and getting an outside ''professional'' opinion on what the best options might be for us.
have any of you used a financial adivsor ? any feedback on this ? anyone Beantown PS''ers with recommendations for realtors or financial advisors ? I really *hate* trying to locate someone who is going to be this important in our lives just by pure random chance, I''d love (and really appreciate) any actual and factual feedback from you girls.
THANKS a million !

P.S. I have SO much catching up to do but work has been very busy since the London bombings and now with more stuff just after happening there today, it''s likely work being busy will continue. One of these days I am going to try to go read everything and catch up.
Really sorry I''m missing out on all your stories at the moment.
