I recently graduated college and moved to the Jacksonville area to start a full time job. 

All this takes a lot of time and the tasks are passed on to one person after another who is just doing their job.

So my immediate thought is to rollover the balance to a self-directed IRA (between now and August when my new job starts) and buy a rental property.

It might have areas that will continue to do well and others that will go down in its popularity so I would tend to look in areas close to home and that area in high demand, has a diverse economy, population rise, and job growth, and talking to experienced Agents and get their opinions if I was looking at it long term. 

Great job Quinton on picking up the phone and calling people directly. 

To make it in today's world, you need to accept modern times.Do not quit any W-2 job until you make enough on the side to pay all your bills each month. 

Your AC sounds like it is doing its job.

Long story short, I'm drawn to a few of the MSAs in North Carolina for a number of reasons: population growth, job growth, climate, taxes, lower acquisition costs, and I'm a Jersey boy so I like the East Coast. 

I know that the architect is not interested in providing any more details of what they have in mind without knowing that they will be selected for the job.

Looks like USAA going to add 2,000 more jobs and many other adding jobs.
