All the bestThanks Brian,I am and always have been very fast paced and Go Go Go.It definitely helped me to get to the level we are at now but I made a transition with myself not too long ago.Had a great wake up call by someone who is buddies with Richard Branson and Gary Vaynerchuk.It was a very simple question he asked as I was stressing to him about how I want to dominate the world in businessHe asked me" What do you really want?".

@Jeremy Pace thanks for the input.

I don't anticipate an across-the-board crash in the 2008 style, instead, I see valuations that do not pace with reality in the most expensive (coastal, primarily) markets.Right now we're in a very top-heavy moment.

Open up to new adventures and new people- learn from them but always be weary because some people may have a hidden agenda. #1: you have good options: you may want to drop the money on the current home as you may always refinance later and pull the money out anyway... also think about a rainy day: what if you lose your job... what if you need renovations: i.e. plumbing... etc always have reserves: 6 to 12 months of mostly mortgages incase something happens: once you have the reserves- think about leveraging into the 2nd and 3rd properties (maybe a duplex that will be almost the same purchase price but will yield more money.
