Congress just passed a bill that earmarks $25 billion dollars for rent relief to go to landlords.

I have access to a decent amount of capital that is currently earmarked for transitioning back to civilian life.

Having 2 people liveing off of cash flow from a portfolio is very possible but it would be nice to have some extra funds set aside to either do a few smaller deals or earmark for other non real estate related activities.Good Luck!

Located within waking distance to a suburban train stop (and downtown) and is perfectly earmarked as a spot where I think people can find nice AFFORDABLE housing.

I also have savings earmarked for a down payment, so I really want to get the ball rolling as a 1031 is something I think is attainable and lucrative.

I am not going to argue with the advice and while I may disagree with it, for all investors, the most important things you must have to survive in this game is a reliably steady income, earmarked money that they can risk in an investment (cash, SDIRA, HELOC - whatever you use as your capital)  and a high level assurance that you will get a return of your capital before you buy.I am a seasoned investor who has lost money on stupid investing.  

cozy.co looks like a great resource, I'll definitely earmark that.

I would just cash out the 401K...ear-mark the remainder for your down payment...how much down you need depends on price of the rental of course.Remember, you have to claim that $10-11k as income on the current years taxes.

There was a lot of behind the scenes workings but in the end it took a signature from Obama on a bill in which the sale of the disputed land was earmarked.  

At the beginning I kept track of earmarking enough reserves per unit, and my threshold was always that a unit could go vacant for one year without causing me economic distress such that I was forced to sell the unit.
