The ship has sailed on working with appraisers. 

There's the real path...And if you've read this far....and feel like I'm trying to take the wind out of your sails - you're wrong.

Take up golf, learn to sail, run a marathon, learn a new language, live in Europe for a few years. 

If you don't think see the validity in the comparison, and you accept the fact that anyone can learn enough about REI through casual resources, and that the limited success gained of those casual resources is fine and acceptable, and the idea of looking beyond the simple and striving for better rather than accepting limits, then go ahead and change the surgeon to (choose any of the above) the:1 - Engineer that designed the structure of the building you work in, 2 - Person cutting your hair,3 - Accountant that does you taxes,4 - Air Traffic Controller that keeps planes from crashing,5 - The Pilot the flies those planes,6 - The Captain that sails the cruise ships,7 - Electrician that wired your house,8 - The plumber that plumbed your house,9 - Pharmacist that dispenses your meds10 - Software Engineer that designed the software you use,11 - ...I'm sure others can add to this list. 

I'm always shocked when I hear these types of stories- why haven't you partnered with a property manager and let them deal with all of your headaches and tenant calls so you can sail off in to the sunset with all of your tax free income?

Which took me to Full Sail University from April 2019 to Dec of 2021.

Right now though with all that's going on, I think it's going to be rough sailing for a while.

Perhaps Santa Cruz’s boat has sailed, but I suggest you don’t write off the Bay Area quite yet.

Dave Ramsey says, "The only ship that doesn't sail is a PARTNERship!"   

So I guess it's smooth sailing?
