[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My plan in this situation is to talk to my kid about it first.

And if your kid doesn’t like the idea, which I guarantee you they won’t, what will you do?  Not move?  That would be silly.  [/quote]

not silly if you give a rats ass about your kid.[/quote]

Why?  Your kid is away at college.  They come home for 2-3 weeks at xmas, 1 week Spring break and 10 weeks in the summer.  After year 2 they might not even be home in summer if they have internship/research job at school or anywhere but home.  Why would you make adult decisions based on other adults who are barely at home and ultimately will not be home?

We downsized to a condo.  It's tight when college kid is home, but they have their own room at that time.  If they come back to live after college we will help them pay for a rental nearby (city is very expensive for a fresh college grad).  But there's a 90%+ chance they will work elsewhere[/quote]

My sons are home a full month at Christmas (about five weeks), they doesn't come home for spring break or fall break.  They are home four months during the Summer.  College semesters are only 16 weeks.  1/3 of their time is still spent at home.  This is two different schools in two different states.

We are staying put until they move out permanently, especially considering current interest rates and this area is prime for internships. [/quote]
