[quote=Anonymous]I would stick to something around 700-850K if buying inside beltway in expensive areas and less if you are flexible to go further out.  I think since your DH is a physician, most likely unemployment is not in his future as much as any other field, there always seems to be shortage of medical professionals and in the worse case scenario, this is the job that you can transfer into any other less expensive town in the US and live very well.

I am guessing you are a SAHM, are you planning to look for a job in the near future?  If you are, you may need a more central location for easier commute, but for now, I would look near where your DH works, since he has such long hours.   This was a case for my friend, who is also a SAHM and whose husband had a long commute.  They eventually had to look closer to his work and take their kids out of the elementary school to move.  My advice would be to look as close as you can, not sacrificing the safety and schools of course, to avoid moving in the near future.

GL and congratulations for the hard work well done!  Disregard the mean DCUMers here, it's a very hard work and long years to become a medical professional, and being a wife supporting your DH through these difficult years while raising little kids is no small task. [/quote]
