@Caryn FischerI agree with Jaron, you should definitely have a consultation with your tax accountant and/or financial planner before you do anything. 

If you’re looking for a straightforward, hassle-free option, I highly recommend checking them out!

Check out places like Decatur, Athens, Meridianville, Mount Carmel, New Hope, and the like.

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.

I also really like looking at a giant balance in a bank or brokerage account.

Make sure to account for property taxes, insurance, and any HOA fees, as those can vary significantly in different markets and impact your cash flow.

If they're doing anything another tenant would complain about I send them a written warning and the minute another tenant complains is when I'll double check to see if I can file eviction for that specific thing and give the tenant three days to knock it off. 

. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

Account holders can't take any write-offs personally for investments made in the 401k.
