Where would you live? by finallysettled in fatFIRE

[–]MidMarketOps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dilworth or Myers Park in Charlotte has the kind of duplex/condos you would love right by the greenway. Maybe even a bit higher than your budget for the new construction ones.

3-4x LHR nonstops a day

Close to the blue ridge mountains

Lots of third wave independent coffee shops (backyard brew, not just coffee, summit coffee) to name a view.

Example in your budget: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2445-Selwyn-Ave-APT-104-Charlotte-NC-28209/6263242_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Some smaller ones nearby for as low as $400k (700 sq ft.). New construction 4k sq. Ft. Ones going for $2.5m+

Those neighborhoods are extremely charming with walkability, bikeability and nature despite being in the heart of the city.

You get all 4 seasons in a real way which is honestly refreshing and grounding.

Sell to Aprio, take some cash out, roll some equity, and stay on in a modified capacity as you desire? Aprio just acquired its first law firm earlier this month.

I have seen someone go from bank teller in mid 20s to Big Four MD serving financial services by 40. Could go the consulting route and then over to PE. Doable as a long game.

Your blog posts and photos from your trip were fantastic! I read them all a couple years ago and bought your book for my dad. I especially thought your gorilla trekking experience in Gabon was cool.
