I know what you mean. I live in SW Florida, and we just bought our house 2 years ago. We bought when the market was just starting to fall, however now our house is appraised at $40,000 less that what we owe on it. So, if I am selected for Iowa we are going to have to try to rent it out, until we can get our mortgage paid down enough, to sell at it's current appraised value. Their are thousands of houses on the market, down here right now, so I don't see housing prices going up, any time soon. The thought of having to rent our home out, while we're well over a thousand miles away isn't very appealing, however I REALLY want to be a controller. We'll definately be making some notable sacrifices, however. I'm only 45 minutes away from Tampa, where I would've ideally liked to work, but my family all lives up in the Mid West, so it's not so bad. We'll just have to really crunch our budget and pay double shelter, until the market picks back up. Thank goodness my husband works for UPS and can pretty much go anywhere!
