Thank you all.  @Bob Malecki I'll check FCI out, thanks for the tip.

I'm considering starting to invest in notes. I think the best and easiest way to get started is to use a servicing company. I just read Dave Van Horn's book and I'm obviously considering using his company, but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with PPR note. Also, if you have any other recommendations of a servicing company for a beginner note investor I would highly appreciate them.

@Chris Koenig Since the proceedings will be coming from another property I'm selling, I decided to do a 1031 exchange, but I'm still not exactly sure where to invest next. I'm yet to sell the property though.

@Arlen Chou and @Jay Hinrichs what has been your experience with such incubators? I think its a great idea, but the probability of finding a startup as tenant that becomes a solid business is not very high. I think the great majority of startups end up just shutting down. How do you find a good one?

For those of you who were curious. The reason for the liquidity is getting some cash out of a property that no longer has a mortgage.

Jay Helms what do you mean by loan the balance sheet?

Lots of great ideas, which is what I was looking for, thank you everyone! Andrew Johnson I do have real estate already, a decent portfolio, but not nearly what I would like it to be (is it ever?!). As you correctly imply, I’m trying to figure out what to do next. This is significant liquidity and I’m trying to decide the best next move.

I do like the MF suggestions. Although a 12% hands off deal sounds pretty good as well, where would you find such investment?

I’m expecting a liquidity event and I’m considering where and how to invest next. I’m curious about opinions of how you would invest with such cash soon. Thanks in advance!

@Cory Macculloch That would be great, thanks and good luck with the search
