ONLY THEN WEEL I BEE HEEEEPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYUHU!!!"

Point is - the government/society wants good little worker bees who don't ask questions.

I have seen this sting others.. 

I put 35k of the proceeds towards the first property purchase i made in the US when i moved here, this one property grew into a almost 1,5M portfolio within 3years, creating enough cashflow to buy / build another car WITHOUT having to work 14h days - but after seeing the compounding effect of putting that cash back into Real Estate, it really helps separating the WANTS from the NEEDS 🤯That beeing said - I still do get to "scratch the itch" from time to time on the track, and have a little project in the garage (actually in the garage of one of my rentals, and i only spend money on it when i close a new deal).

Not only we save water, it helps the birds and bees.

And as much as it could sting - some private money for a short time could give you the runway to complete that exchange to save the tax and then refinance. 

Bee yourself and people will see you know what your doing and you care about the team as much as you do about the deal.

And, I don't think you are particularly cursed, or else we all are...there are easy years and then there are years full of sewer backups, carpenter bees, and overdue rent payments.

It stings because this is the first deal that I backed out of but I take comfort on all your advice that this would've been a major problem if left unsolved.Thank you everyone!

Rent a bee suit and cover your whole body?
