I'd probably order an all 50 states background check to see if there is a legal guardianship anywhere, and I would also put into the offer a specific allocation for the moving expenses. 

I intend to have the closing costs for the property paid in full with my line of credit but my primary question is this:When I am running my numbers for a property what amount should I allocate towards closing costs?

See below for how to do that.Step 4: Deduct as Schedule E rental expenses the allocable mortgage interest and property taxes from Step 3.Step 5: If there’s any net rental income left after Step 4, deduct as rental costs allocable indirect expenses — maintenance, utilities, association fees, insurance, depreciation and so forth on Schedule E — but only to the point where you zero out rental income.

Now, you need to review the deals these operators put in front of you and choose which one is the best place to allocate your funds.

One should choose a asset allocation, pick low-cost index funds, stay the course and ignore the noise. 

I like the idea of leverage because it allows you to allocate your cash reserves in multiple properties instead of keeping it all in one property.

@Jesse K.It's time to take the bull by the horns and allocate time and effort for you to do a site visit.

Because I don’t want to invest 100% of the $800,000 in real estate, I am thinking of keeping:10% ($80,000) in savings10% ($80,000) in bonds 30% ($240,000) with financial institutions to invest in mutual funds, index funds, and stocks, And the remaining 50% ($400,000) in real estate.My goal is to allocate $200,000 of this $400,000 to acquire a combination of SFR, BRRRR properties and possibly duplex/triplexes throughout the next year or two.

Most banks pretend like they do, but they barely have any allocation for investor loans.
