She believes that by working hard at her day job she will be able to live a comfortable life while I want to make sacrifices now to invest and live more than comfortably in 10 years.  

Other than making a typo, screwing something up, and needing to take months of your life to correct it?  

John thanks for adding your real life experience, this type of input is very helpful.

Be careful to not go into this too quickly- you've got the rest of your life to invest in properties.

I live my life as a game of "what if".

Bought a house with VA loan in hometown (Ellwood City), market in the area continued to decline due to areas nearby stealing the life out of it IMO (Chippewa Township for example).Due to various factors, made decision to pay down heavily the last year, got out from underwater, and recently sold it on 4/22 and walked away with a small amount of proceeds.I know that with an FHA loan, if you eventually convert it to a conventional loan, you can reapply for another FHA loan.  

I am certainly not an expert but I believe that the PMI on the FHA loans now are for the life of the loan so the only way to get rid of it is to refinance out.

Im excited and eager to lean about the business a experience a form of success where I can help and give my family a life they deserve.
