@Ariel Vincent the escrow for the earnest money was 3 days, the cash payable at closing and the closing date was two weeks "or sooner" depending on the contingency. 

Allows you to go after another investment much sooner and grow faster. let your future tenants pay down/off your residence balance.

I should have introduced my self sooner but, Everytime I sign on I get caught up in reading something that catches my attention.

Based on the provided “in service” examples, I will want to get my property advertised for rent sooner rather than latter.  

Otherwise keep your current mortgage but pay as much extra on your principal so that you can get it paid off much sooner than 26 years Once your wife is able to work again it will be more doable to make even larger payments towards your mortgage to get it paid off sooner.

But I think my wife would like to move sooner than later :D.
