In California, there is a 3 year life expectancy for paint.

Maybe she would be open to the idea of assisted suicide if her health is really bad and her quality of life intolerable.

Presently I work full time at Wal-Mart as a Maintenance Supervisor and wish to be able to earn a self sustaining income through real estate so that I can retire my 9 to 5 job, be my own boss and have time to travel with my wife and enjoy life.                            

However, as long as you have healthy comps and are confident in the ARV,  then you should be fine. 

Will come even close to allowing I and my wife to life for "free" or close to it.Any ideas on how to find better deals in this high value market?

I currently work full time in the corporate finance world and my wife and I are expecting our second daughter next month.I found BiggerPockets a few months ago by way of listening to the audiobook of Set For Life by Scott Trench on a long road trip and it ignited my interest in real estate as a tool to reach financial freedom.  

I'm getting married in October, so I'm trying to keep as much in my bank account as I'm going into this next stage of life.

Wondering what the most life-changing seminars or events you have been?

I dont want to get in more debt to start a life of passive income.

You will need to repair your credit, clear your bankruptcy and start saving every penny you can.......frugal life style going forward as your life situation improves is mandatory.
