Set up some stability in your life here in the US, then continue with your business aspect.

Putting things I've learned from here and other places and tying them together in real life.  

Wait out a few more auction cycles, but risk losing it?  

It was then that I had the scariest conversation of my life.

I wouldn't mind living in the property how ever long I need to to get that $7k We are in it for the long term, an I understand noting is free in life.  

Congrats on your life long success.

You are on a great path to living you life on your terms by house hacking a 2 or a 4 unit for your first investment.

For office I would be wanting a 9 to 10 cap or higher at this point in the cycle. 7 to 8's for that product is overpriced at this time in my view unless rents are at about half of current market.

A rich person who has, for some reason, never heard of investing before could read this quote and say "maybe I should invest some of my money into something that can bear interest" and their life will improve.If you have $100 in the bank, then saving more and putting it in a savings account is one of the smartest things you could possibly do.  

Save what you can, and you will be in a great position in 2 years.Just like everything in life, we are continuously learning and developing, with each passing year.
