Seattle is a great city and the west coast in general will be a slower change of pace. Lots of growth happening in Seattle and if you're an outdoorsy type, you'll probably like it. It truly does rain A LOT so if that bothers you, you should take that into consideration. You're still relatively young so if you are ready for a new (and better paying) adventure, I'd say go for it!

@A1 - yes, I did and it looks good on paper but to be honest, I guess I'm more hesitant about making a big move by myself to a city where I don't have a network. I've moved around a lot but I've been finding it more difficult to find a solid network the older I get.

Relocation assistance is a ploy to trap you there for at least 2-5 years. If it's worth it, you won't need the assistance to make things work.

From to DC to where?

DC to Seattle

How old?

31. Good point, PwC 1.

Not worth it for the money alone. I used to do federal and the switch basically felt like starting over again. Industry projects are much more faster paced.

Thanks for the advice, CSA1. Are you happy that you made the switch?

Do it man

Do it - you're finding it harder to network because it's DC and the East Coast in general. I should have done it when I had the chance.

Thanks for the advice, all!

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
