2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[Hank Scorpio]

For everyone that’s bought a crib or thinking about were you sure that’s where you wanted to/want to live long term? I’m obviously aware buying the best move if you can afford it because of all the associated financial benefits of being a homeowner but how certain were you that you wanted the stay in that area long-term when you made the purchase? That’s my biggest hang up right now.

Well, bought a loft in NYC and a condo out in HK. Ended up getting the NYC spot, because I'm from NYC and do not see myself living somewhere else. I do not have children, but if/when I do I'd want them to go to school up here as well.

Got the condo in HK because I do a lot of business out there for weeks at a time. Looking into SF for the same reason.

What are your long term goals? Start there

We on the same page, only reason I don’t got my own house/condo…I move around too much and I’m not a real estate/ landlord guy n not interested in being one either …But if I settle im going west for sure

Neither am I man. Can't see myself doing that unless I have someone to play property manager on my behalf.

I have a company that I use in LA/DC/SF that is amazing to work with - happy to recommend if you decide otherwise

There's a bunch of factors that can come into play and a lot of them will have different weights for different people. My wife and I bought our first house in 05 and our main priorities then were finding something decently sized within our price range, not too far from where my office was and that had good public schools nearby. Those things alone were enough to signficantly limit the areas we looked at. If we weren't firmly on the start-a-family track and I wasn't so adverse to a long communte to work (at the time), we might been driven by a different set of factors.

No DC for me.

DCAllAfrican the one with the Georgetown estate.

 

[frshstunna]

Yeah but I got another 5/7 years at best up here. Just not worth what it costs.

Solid plan, wrap it up so you don’t get stuck!

Would you like it to go back to the "did Magic smash your mom in the 80s thread"?

 

[MVP]

Good info …What if I got business on 42nd, how long would that take?

Probably an hour with traffic

I have someone who'd do that for your crib. LMK if you're interested.

Gonna end up living in this one. At the end of the term idk what I'm doing, but doubt I'll still be up north.

i dont have kids so im looking at a 3-5 year stay.
things change whether its work, or incoming spouse ( and then kids) which you can then re-assess the situation

those with kids may be looking for that " forever home" now

We on the same page, only reason I don’t got my own house/condo…I move around too much and I’m not a real estate/ landlord guy n not interested in being one either …But if I settle im going west for sure

Both of these and they go hand in hand for me. The moving around for work and also thinking about how a spouse/kids change the game. I’ve seen far too many dudes pass on bags or opportunities because they’re geographically stuck due to commitments so IMO I feel you have to be sure you want to live in that area with that person or have agreed upon potential destinations and timeline.

What are your long term goals? Start there

Long-term goals in what sense/area? I guess you could say nine are career oriented. In that regard I came up with a rough outline of a 30-35 year plan which is constantly evolving and optimally includes geographic flexibility. Im well ahead schedule but at no point did I say “I need to get married and/or have kids by age XX” which both can tie you down to a location. Anyone ever have to make a difficult decision about a move based on a wife or kids?
