I am sorry to say that Ryland would have to pay me my current salary, annually, to induce me to buy into a four hour round trip commute each day. Even if you leave at 5 am to cut the one way down to less than an hour, you effectively can't leave until others start filtering out, around four. So your trip back home is two hours in any case.
Home based business? Unless you are guaranteed the cash flow, better look at Plan B. You're back to commuting.
Gas prices rise to $7/gal - you won't be able to afford to get to work and back.
The hit to the quality of life is unsustainable. Plus, employers appear to have wised up. A Fredricksburg or equivalent address appears to count as a heavy negative in the hiring decision if the work location is Tysons or DC.
Nothing at stake here. I'm a renter forever. Mechanically challenged and lack patience with condo contractor no-shows.
"A Fredricksburg or equivalent address appears to count as a heavy negative in the hiring decision if the work location is Tysons or DC."
True?
As an employee, I've always had a twinge of resentment when workers from the boonies bail out at 2:30 PM after allegedly coming in at 5:30 AM.
No way to prove it but the general feeling is that a lot of Internetting and "did you see the game" goes on before 9:00 AM.
I used to work for Ryland homes as well as several other big builders and closing companies in the area. This amuses me greatly.
When I worked there in 2004 the ONLY loans they offered were interest only options. You'd have to refinance later to get a fixed rate 30 year "normal" loan. Also, of course, everything they built was luxury and highly overpriced so thus the interest only options were the only way they could find enough buyers for all their properties.
