We ended up living on Queen's Gate and I got the best of both worlds.I made the best friends and had some amazing adventures.

Harry Gamble I appreciate the advice and will look into what a title company can or cannot do for me in this situation!

I don't see a problem with gambling your own money, but taking huge risks with other peoples money is irresponsible and reckless.

I have seen this also in my RE adventures.

I will spend thousands of dollars on travel and dining and las vegas gambling, but still wearing the same clothes I have been wearing for ten years because I am too cheap to pay for clothes.

I would not know what to do with myself if I was not doing some work every day.. that does not mean I cant have adventures during the year we do that of course but a lot of what we did was done as you mentioned from late 20s to about 50  once you have been all over the world and the US ( if you like Traveling) those type of trips just become a little more challenging as you get older. and for sure wont be happening if your dead before your time all that cash flow and money squirreled away does U no good.

Good luck on your adventure!

You mention the "Contractor Wildcard" as a gamble.  

Good luck in your adventure!
