If you do so, that would sure solve your problem of having
$250K in liquid assets.  The problem is that we are in a market
peak right now.  This could very well come back down.  If
you were to buy today at $600K to $800K, you could find
yourself 5 years from now still oweing $400K to $600K on
a house that is worth only $300K to $400K.  That would lose
your $250K in cash and leave you $100K upside down to boot.
Will this job let you work remotely?  If so, then maybe
move to the heartland where you can pay cash for a nice
new home for $100K to $150K, have no house payments, and
still have $100K left over.  You could live like a king
