[quote user="arbfbe"]<p>Generally it is better to own than rent. The local market will have some bearing as well. Some railroad terminals have realestate markets which do not show much appreciation while others are a sellers' market. You can figure on moving on short notice about every 3-5 years for a while, then things may slow down depending upon your career path from entry level management.</p> <p>So know the relocation policies, find a reliable realtor in the area, plan on turning the house or condo pretty soon and finance according to your situation concerning down payment available and other obligations. Try not to get overextended. </p>[/quote]<br><br>Yeah i've looked over the relocation program, I think i'm leaning towards renting on a 6-month lease and then decide whether or not to buy. Its in a major southern city so the housing market should increase in value if I play my cards right. My father is a broker also so I assume he will know a bit to help me out. I want to be squared away with it before I start work in Jan. Soooo much to do until then.<br>
