Sounds like your life is full. 

sometimes deals don't close.. also run title before you resell.. if it was me given potential life threatening deal I would just pass .. maybe it goes to foreclosure and U buy it at the sherrifs sale since U already know about it.. 

I am all about simplify life as you get older, especially if you have kids.

I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad (which brought me here), Cash Flow Quadrant, and Set for Life. 

I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life and making some money.

For me personally, I don't because it's not my style in generating business.
