Guarantee I could give you enough new info to keep your mind racing.

So I got my real estate license, however, I am working at a place that still feels like I'm in a rat race because people are competing left to right and the pressure is there.

Smart investors know better than to hold onto a declining investment and won't waste their efforts flogging a dead horse or HOA in this case.You may prefer not to sell but that would be a major investment mistake.

I'm ready to stop beating this dead horse with you Colleen. 

At the end of the day we are all striving for financial freedom and to be out of the rat race (Kiyosaki,2009), working for someone else will keep you away from your long term goals.I am in the same predicament, in that I work a 9-5 which funds my R/E investments, but my heart is awaiting  the day I can afford my own medical coverage and laugh at the thought of a "qualified retirement plan".

I have a full-time job I work nights need to get out of the rat race for the big corporations.

You can lead a horse to water but....you can't make them think (sic)

I'll race you to the top!

I learned much more about racehorses and horse farms on Saturday than I did about flipping houses! 

We have a huge World Equestrian Center that will be marketed heavily in September or October and I have spoken to one of their realtors, who said my place will be ideal for a developer or for someone with major money to set up their trainer and horses while they live in Golden Ocala so they won't have to pay the extremely high prices for tiny farms within the Equestrian Center.
