I've saved up a nice amount and have zero debt with a retirement and decent paying job waiting for me after I retire from the AF.

House has been well maintained, fresh paint job, newer Windows and has a great view of a little pond across the street.

I have a job ,but I am free most mornings.

I plan to pick up one property a year after that so that by 2026 I could leave my current job wihtout altering my standard of living. 

two schools of thought here.One is your ONLY job is to get an appointment.. as real estate is belly to belly.. to easy for people to blow you off on the phone or e mailTwO.. you want to qualify them so you don't waste your time..

If this is something that is commonly done, please forgive me, but I ask because, if I'm not mistaken, on traditional bank mortgages there does tend to be a penalty for early payment.

I moved to Columbus, Ohio in March and recently took a teaching job that has me moving back to Dayton, Ohio.

In retrospect, we didn't do as good a job on finishing touches as we should have and I have no doubt that hurt us a bit.

The transaction you are describing is very common.

2) does real estate appraiser have a good job opportunity?
