So I love the forums, sure, but there doesn't seem to be much 'ok: take a minute to just BREATHE!' I know that the people I surround myself with make it a priority to put 'me time' in the calendar.

So here we go: take 5 mins to have a coffee and find a picture that makes you laugh but encompasses your dreams. I'll go first:

My dream is to one day figure out why an underwater world has showers. Seriously, what comes out of them???

Seriously though, being able to have enough money that I don't need to worry about my loved ones after I die is my goal.

Who's next?

@Mark Nolan yeah, it was the podcasts which got me on here. I've been listening sporadically for about two weeks, have downloaded the first 20 episodes now. :-D

@Troy Fisher just chillin' bro, watchin the game, havin' a bud...

Hi Josh.

He wanted to sell because he was paying the mortgage on the property and as I say, it's not going to be available to move tennants in for another six months, so he was losing money month on month.

Spoke to the girl who showed me the listing, apparently he sold for ask8ng price, so someone else now has to worry about dead money for 6 months. *sigh*

The other property I saw (170k, 2/2) closed tuesday for 190.

Maybe just as well, I have just found that I may be moving within the next month, if so, I will be hustling as soon as i get to the next area. Definitely thinking the probate listings will be the way to go up there... *mutters to self like a crazy person*

Thanks for the reply! :-D

Why am I getting into the field, I hear you ask.

Well, my parents are hitting retirement age and are having to work as hard as ever to sustain their lifestyles.

Three kids on my mother's side and one on my father's means that I'm not holding out for a massive inheritence (though my mother has hinted that her life insurance pays out more than I would have expected...) and so, as with all things, I am learning to take control.

I'm slowly coming full circle, have an interview for a job back in my old hometown and am remembering my dream as a 12 year old was to own hotels, coffee shops and houses. Lots of houses.

So Yeah. Nice to meecha all.

So Here's where I am: today I put in my first bid on a property, master lease with option in 5 years. I massively low-balled the guy as the property is not yet ready and am expecting him to come back with a resounding 'HA! **** no!"

So Yeah, I am trying to figure out what to offer on the rejection when I get it. I don't know anyone locally into real estate as they all seem to just be in charge of talks which they charge an arm and a leg for, while my current day job is min. wage...
