Imagine how many times my wife and I went to Chilis in 2018 to make this a goal in 2019)I love looking back at our goals and seeing how much we've grown over the years.

I would imagine getting the cash out is about the easiest part, having the check in hand is the exciting part, and buying a house is the nerve-wracking part. i watch videos at work and talk to my clients all the time about real estate.
