I personally wouldn't accept that large a payment in cash unless I had my pistol strapped on me or someone to provide protection.

Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!

I definitely don’t want to get in over my head and wind up strapped for cash, especially with taking on additional loan payments.

Plus the spilled coffee on all the nightstands which have a square decorative place mats.

It will put me strapped for cash for a month or two but is it worth just paying in cash to avoid the costs?

My buddy has a Laundry Mat and a car wash. 

Some tenants of mine used ratchet straps to fold a king mattress in half to take up into a converted attic/bedroom.

For under the sink I use "Xtreme Mats" they can be ordered in most sizes to fit under your sink, they have a lip on them, and a place in the back (center) of the mat for an alarm. 

You might even consider industrial or out of state investments... there are much better cashflow returns elsewhere in the country, and you don’t have the benefit of being “local” to anchorage or mat-su, so you might as well behave like an out of state investor here too.
