Joe Rossini is the perfect example of how patience can pay.

Rossini retired to Florida and bought a home in Bonita Springs in 2003, but like so many of his peers he quickly grew restless. “I was too young to do nothing,” says the 62-year-old entrepreneur.

Rossini, who sold an auto-parts distribution business in which he was a partner in New Jersey, was doing some part-time consulting work when a client asked him to survey the Southwest Florida market in 2005.
