During this time flipping I can potentially complete an MBA or MS with a RE concentration.

If I stay in my current role, next year I will be expected to get my MBA (two years) and come back to the firm for another two years.

It wasn't an MBA.

Finish that BS/BA, MBA or Law degree ... you never know!

I have an appointment across the country in a couple weeks and it's really best if I can make a decision and leave without postponing my appointment or returning(in order to establish residency I couldn't stay much longer anyways).I have an MBA from a local university and my last job was working as the property manager at a small manufactured home community.

@Minh Le, I would love to hear your theory why you think that the S&P will only correct 20% into Dec/Jan 2015 and not a 50% correction to 1000 and possibly lower, continuing its decline into 2015 and possibly 2016.I see that you are a believer of indexing the S&P 500 like I am. 80% of all the fund managers with trophy degrees (Top ten MBA), designations (CFA), with fancy investment banking titles can't seem to beat the S&P 500 over a long run.

My wife and I are planning to return to the US next year, though that depends on the job so may end up staying in China longer.We have a financial goal we have set for retirement and generating cash flow through real estate is one way we have decided to build on our existing base.Credit Score is high and have a strong cash position to begin investing.Have a current single family rental property in Hamden, CT that is cash flowing well though I don't intend to continue in this market.Have my MBA so understanding of the financial concepts that I hear everyone speaking about on here on bigger pockets makes complete sense to me though I realize that I have a lot to learn.
