It was not because it had anything to do with my website or my transition to online marketing, but moreso it had to do with a lot of things happening for me & my family, within a short amount of time, that took me away from the REI business: My wife was pregnant and had our 2nd child in July 2018.We moved out of our home, due to a decision we made about moving closer to my wifes job.We also spent time putting our house on the rental market; we are now we are buy & hold investors.Going through a personal weight loss transformation...so far lost about 27lbs in 9 weeks.Closed down my private counseling business so I can create more time to be with my family.Had to hold off on investing my funds into the online marketing portion in order to re-evaluate my wife and I's finances (i.e. student loans, credit cards, mortgage, etc). 

REI and business has interested me throughout the past few years but I am now taking the actual steps to transform my future to fit these desires.I am active duty Air Force and looking to transition into REI so that I can leave the service when my current enlistment is up.

I really think Camp Creek Parkway will lead a lot of changes and transform this side of metro Atlanta. 

Besides the excitement about affordable property values and some young people taking advantage of this affordability, what are the real driving factors that will carry these markets forward and ultimately transform them into healthy, sustainable areas?
