[quote=Anonymous]My husband's job is transferring him to San Francisco.  We will be there for around 7 years, and then move back to DC.  The office is located near Coit Tower.  I work from home full time, and will continue to do so.

Because this is a temporary move, we do not want to sell our house here in DC.  We are currently debating if we should buy or rent in San Francisco.  Our budget to buy would be around $500k, which I know is tiny!!!, but I did find several 2 bedroom condos in this price range, mostly in the East Bay.  Also, his company would assist with closing costs on both the purchase and sale of the San Francisco area home.

We will probably have 1 or 2 kids while we are out there.  I have no issue with them sharing a bedroom.  Because they will be so young while we are there, schools are not my top priority- I am fine with average rankings for public elementary or we can do private for a year or two until we get back to DC.

Anyway- any advice on rent vs buy?  Any areas we should target, keeping in mind a commute to the Coit Tower area and our tiny budget? [/quote]
