Did you find a new job in the new location?

@Bryan A.Nice job, how long from start to finish? 

I just don't see much risk with the situation I mentioned above, unless of course I am completely without a job and wasting away my saving. 

I'm sure there are some food service industry jobs In which you could earn $40k+ a year if you are putting in the hours while looking for a physics job.

Most agents only see inside the traditional box, good job on thinking outside of it. 

different sources: part-time job, self-employment income, child support, etc. 

Looking at the amortization schedule, I could theoretically write a check for the remaining balance  15 years in- with the increased monthly cashflow.  

In my current company the interest rate is 6%, and a set tiered fee schedule (does not go to your 401k this goes to your 401k provider).Which is better depends on tax brackets and state tax rules.I guess it really comes down to overall cost and which can help you create wealth more quickly.

I have worked in corporate america for over 15yrs and investing in real estate part time since I was making $70K on job...

Wow I love the stone flooring and what you did with the bathroom, great job!
