@Carlito King Tired to give you a chance man, but yet again another swing and a miss from VCA Properties and Carlito King. 1.

You will learn a lot while you prepare for your first investment.I would do some research about seller finance deals, especially if you can swing one in the multi family arena.

If I have a long bout of not having a tenant and my mortgage is under 100k, then I can probably swing the payments myself without itkilling me.  

The place in Destin did have a golf club and ball which was nice because Sandpiper Cove has a little course attached for guests) and b) can help you during low season.

However, based on purchase price it was significant percentage up swing.

but maybe the pendulum will swing the other way. 

I was slaving away working 12 hour swing shifts dreaming of a day I could escape the rat race so I could spend more time with my wife and kids.

I believe there are many new developments there and golf courses intertwined with B+ neighborhoods.

Just because you use the money to buy a different stock doesn't mean that you haven't doubled down on stocks, and if there is a crash in the stock market (been known to happen), now your leveraged position makes it harder to survive a down swing in the market.
