2.) looking for advice on how to deploy 600+ thousand dollars into real estate and start receiving the cash flow from it without having to pull the 401(k) out and swallow the tax ramifications.I currently own 13 units and receive healthy cash flow from all of them, but I am looking to increase my cash flow so I can ease into the next phase of my life which includes work of a different kind but not doesn’t having a 9 to 5 job.Thanks in advance!

Pete, including Madeira Beach and Sunset Beach that our investors are buying to use the STR BRRRR strategy.

Your monthly payment would come out to roughly $2400/month including HOA, taxes, and insurance.

Quote from @Lucas Martinez: Quote from @Theresa Harris: They are renting the entire house including the garage and yard. 

They explained that Fannie Mae (according to an exchange with their Servicing Portfolio Manager at Fannie Mae for a similar but not an exact loan) does not allow PMI removal for improvements already included in the original loan’s scope until after a two-year seasoning period

Not sure if these are all investment properties or if you're including a primary or second home, but my suggestion would be a cash out refi of an investment property to pay off your debt, and a line of credit on your primary to have available for reserves if needed.

Alternatives include Stessa (free) and Buildium (more robust, pricier).For testing, a phased approach is generally best.

But the garage is not included since I need it for storage of my tools and supplies. 

We have some cash savings in the ballpark of 10k ready to invest today not including emergency fund and other savings, but that number is growing thanks to a recent bump in income.Now for the pros.

Without getting too deep into the weeds, there are a few ways to do this, including:- write up an assignable lease and an option to buy which the seller signs, then assign the lease and option agreements to a tenant-buyer.
