Hey everyone thanks for the advice! I have actually lived in Phoenix for three months and am good with it right now (not sure about summer though...) Recently I came back to bay area and tried to bid on some places. Got quite shocked that people would add 150k more for a 2b2b townhouse. This could have been a down payment in Phoenix 😂 

Right now I'm concerned about the possibility of interest rate rising, inflation, etc and I guess that's why I don't want to hold on to cash anymore. I think Dylan is right, I will try to calm down and only purchase when there is a good deal.

Hey Bigger Pockets! First post here :)

I'm currently located in silicon valley bay area of California. Have been working here for a while and finally saved up enough down payments. Originally I planed to purchase either a 2b2b townhome with good conditions or a 2b2b condo with a good location. However, last year I met my boyfriend who is currently working in Phoenix and owes a house there. I have the plan to relocate to Phoenix,  and don't know what to do with my down payment now. Should I continue my plan with a townhome/condo in the bay area? Or start to look at the SFHs in Phoenix? Apparently in either way the place I purchased will be a rental property. 

Thank you!
