You really did a great job.

I have a job in chemical industry (manager) and a good salary (90k a year).I started with buy & hold real estate in 2016.

If the seller is not willing to dig then they just cut the value of their property by 1/3.

I had the misfortune a few years ago of taking a $20k a year pay cut after being discharged (honorably) from the Navy and going through a divorce in the process.

The best measure is to not leave anything on a job site that can walk away.

I have a very strict plan and have been working 3 jobs and started 2 business (side hustles) to pay that off and get my credit up.
