I live in the city and have a freakish map of it in my head that my wife is still shocked by when she gives me an address ("2100 block of _______Ave.?"

I recommend connecting with @Josh Green and his wife who are also investors/investor focused agents that can help you strategize a plan! 

My wife and I live in Chicago and vacation in San Diego every year.  

Imagine how many times my wife and I went to Chilis in 2018 to make this a goal in 2019)I love looking back at our goals and seeing how much we've grown over the years.

@Nathan Harden- thanks ...I am  also here in WA  and  moved from  OH many yrs ago .....my wife is from Medina OH ......what about looking  closer to  here  or maybe a bit  north ( stronsville  etc) 

My wife thinks we used not even 5.

@Chris Burton Love this story!

I would love advice from the community on this issue.  

We plan to stay in the new primary residence for a long time because we love the location, the neighborhood, and the land.
