I Recently got married and had a baby and am looking to put in some hard work in real estate investing (specifically flipping) in order to achieve greater financial freedom, as getting ahead in the rat race has proved to be elusive!

I am of similar cloth in that I like to just get to the point, eliminate the fluff, and just feed on meat and potatoes when it comes to info.Bob nailed it in his last post.

Not one to take baby steps I am under contract to purchase three quad plexes from two different owners in Gainesville, FL using conventional mortgage financing.Everything was going perfectly until I ran into one small issue that I am not sure how to overcome except for postponing the closing.  

BIGGER POCKETS BABY!

They said the cost of living was high as property taxes are higher %'s upkeep of the home from extreme weather and overall higher from all the activities  that had to come up with to get out of the house clothing, entertainment , the right snow cars not mention wear and tear on the vehicles.

My wife makes about $42,000 working about 3/4 time and we are having a baby in February, so her schedule will likely continue.

They think their house, their car, their clothes, all smell fine. 

Cause I bought all that stuff. when she first moved in, she only had bags of clothes, that's it.

Ideally I'd have a house on the beach and be able to wear the clothes in my line and maybe even sell some beach front property!  

There are five people who wash their clothes there.
