Our small business was going well, so we said so long to renting office space and purchased a commercial property in the summer of 2012. Also to top it off, I had a huge property tax due that month for our office building that was going to be difficult to pay for in light of the circumstances. Yep, life was good.

In September 2019, my husband and I accomplished our biggest financial goal in our almost 20 years of marriage. We had been renting for over 10 years and we were ready to find a property to move our business to and eventually build our net worth. Also, the monthly mortgage payment was less than our rent payment.
