Wanting to take the plunge in Miami, Florida.

[Darla Powell]

Hello all,

I am a police officer in Miami Florida and I grow weary. I am considering taking an early retirement ( 16 years of service) and rolling over my retirement into a self directed IRA to invest in RE. I have been lurking and reading but have yet to take action.

To be honest, I'm terrified of leaving such a secure job ( which I loathe but make good money ) to pursue something I love and to be my own boss. Bonus though, I have no personal debt and even own my primary residence outright. Double bonus, I have a partner who is on board. Do I take the leap of faith or am I a damn fool?
