He also put me in contact with his Title company (Independence Title in Ft Lauderdale) who has been taking amazing care of me ever since.

I have met some amazing people throughout my time and travels here.  

I would rather have 10 amazing buyers that want the relationship and close deal after deal then sift through 100 buyers of various levels of quality trying to make a deal work.You know before you even start to put  a deal together who are a long shot and who are the strong candidates to close.    

Luckily I found this amazing community packed with free information, and I decided to keep my money and utilize it as seed capital.

The area has been gentrifying quickly, and there's an amazing mix of old and new.

The woman from Duke Energy was very nice and actually gave me an average of another property that we have looked at, it's 400 sq ft smaller, but it was averaging $177. 

He helped me buy an investment property, is very very patient, and is an AMAZING negotiator.

I may be more excited to begin making some new connections and create some amazing stories, otherwise what's the point?!  

I'm more concerned with going into that much debt buying a duplex when I'm not convinced it's an amazing deal.  

You've pegged the seller here, on a public message board, as a "white woman" with little kids.
