We really enjoyed Holden Beach because it was not overbuilt, no high rise hotels or condos, very family oriented and very peaceful…almost like going back in time when things were slower and quieter.

Being someone who deals with anxiety when it comes to finances, I tend to measure success in investing by the amount of “peace of mind” it creates for me.

It didn't leave much room for error, but given the condition of the house I wasn't too worried about getting upside down in it at $90k. walk away, to tight, I said my peace, my conscious is clear LOL,
