I grew up in Miami for most of my life, and lived there for about two years in the Naples, FL/Fort Myers, FL area.

Also, I just want a life that allows me to take time to give to others when they need help with anything.

The extra bathroom for the kid entering their teenage years (1 hour per morning in the bathroom = needs own bathroom), shorter commute for your wife (happy wife = happy life), bigger yard for your dog, you get the idea.

I've spent my entire working life, investing hours of my time making other people wealthy.

So this house has been on the market for 80+ days and I am about to make an offer on it but for the life of me can not get an ARV.

It is a tremendous feeling because my whole life I could never find what I wanted to do professionally, and it brought many of draining emotions along with it.

I've done quite a bit of reading and research, and though I will continue to do so, I DO feel that at this point the only thing that is going to actually further my knowledge or get me going is real life, hands on experience...So I'm ready to bypass any more "feet wetting" and simply dive in!!

This is huge saving over the life of loan vs FHA financing where you stuck with PMI 2) Offer is viewed as stronger by sellers.

Sounds like you are building good momentum for a great life and setting some good goals! 

I am always open to chat or meetup, schedule permitting since my life is stupid hectic!!
