@DJ Garcia Welcome.

There's a long road to replacing your income w/REI but you've made some good moves. How about a timeline for the next few steps...

Mike

PS "Ideally building a company that my son and I can operate together (He's 12 right now) and give him options if he decides that he doesn't want to go to college like myself." Very tough to do, concentrate on your own success for now! IMHO

@Alejandro Herryman I went to colleague you but it says you've sent me a colleague request that I haven't answered??? I can't find it....

I'm staying in Isle Verde and it seems expensive, do you know an area that is near water and is more reasonable?

Thanks, Mike

@Anthony J Tedescucci Hey Buddy, prices usually rise in the Spring... You may want to "partner" with a friend or relative and get it "Under Agreement" soon!

@Glenn Mayo Tough to imagine but I don't think you can do everything online. e.g. How'd you meet your significant other?

I like what @Lee Ripma said. It is your area and you seem to know it.

You may want to read "Acres of Diamonds" before you leave town looking for deals;-)

@Raluca G. Welcome.

Boston? Big area, I'm originally from W.R.

It's good to start with a plan and timeline but don't forget our MassRealEstate dot net

@Aksel A. Welcome.

4. Option to extend the contacts for 30 more days by increasing the price by maybe $5,000. This way seller gets more money if they willing to wait. This you can also negotiate later if you run into trouble with financing .

or non-refundable down payment.
