I completely agree with your perspective that life is short, and focusing on setting your family up for long-term success is an admirable goal.

I have also been in the federal sector for nearly 15 years and am now wanting to build a portfolio for long-term (supplemental) income and early retirement.• I have research in various area such as Memphis, Cleveland, St.

im open to connecting.....Ive had experience with this long term in my market

🏡 Another month, more eye opening stats....👀✅ Total Actives - 13,346, UP 23% year over year✅ Pendings - 3,941, UP 5% year over year✅ Median Days on Market - 24, UP 60% year over year✅ Median Home Price - $585,000, DOWN 1% year over year✅ Number of Sales - 3,664, DOWN 3% year over yearActives are still up quite a bit year over year, but net new listings have slowed the last several weeks.

Section 8 vouchers are permanent, long term vouchers.

What is a deal also is relative in the eyes of the buyer.

Of course, I also keep my eyes on the last five years to get a more recent perspective.After finding the ideal market, time to zoom in and find the sweet spots within it.

I believe now, you will be fine as long as your current comps justify your purchase.
