It's the winter that would probably kill me in Michigan though - I love that our snow here MELTS after a few days, and that we get some warm sunny days scattered through the winter.IMO, I think you could be making a great (and bold) move.

Yes, it was a pretty bold move!  

Your assumptions are bold. 

I'm going to be bold and set a goal of $500,000 in profit over the next year.

So i'm going to purpose an idea too, because I'm all about testing the waters and taking risk (history rewards the bold), how well received would it be in the investor community that instead of charging money I charge equity.  

Virtually all cars are depreciating assets and yet I don't remember hearing about too much cry and hue about not selling a car to someone.First and foremost, a primary residence is a place to live.

I am working with an agent with whom I trust , but just want to verify what they are telling me before making any bold decisions.  

It will give you a bold part about the deal.

If I may be so bold,  as I am relatively new here, may I suggest that you listen to BP podcast #98.

I guess I forgot how to turn off bold typography :-)
