So I came to the realization I didn't want to invest into a property in that area that would tie me there or cause me to return to it.While I was coming to this realization, I was also forming a new goal outside of real estate investing and that was traveling.My new goal is to use the money I was putting towards a down payment of a property towards traveling abroad for a year or so.
