It is a tremendous feeling because my whole life I could never find what I wanted to do professionally, and it brought many of draining emotions along with it.

I've done quite a bit of reading and research, and though I will continue to do so, I DO feel that at this point the only thing that is going to actually further my knowledge or get me going is real life, hands on experience...So I'm ready to bypass any more "feet wetting" and simply dive in!!

This is huge saving over the life of loan vs FHA financing where you stuck with PMI 2) Offer is viewed as stronger by sellers.

Sounds like you are building good momentum for a great life and setting some good goals! 

I am always open to chat or meetup, schedule permitting since my life is stupid hectic!!

I understand that some people need to break their lease early as life does change, but it still got me thinking as I have not had any issues with these tenants in terms of payment, maintenance, neighbor issues, etc. 

Extreme move but could be a life-changing decision.2.

It seems that might be more realistic to fit for my current life, although it is less appealing to me.

I can lead when needed and will forever be a student of life.

And personally there’s no way I’d give up $60k year for the rest of my life for a one time $80k payment.
