I'm encouraged you like the second option as well -- I may still go that route after meeting with her in person tomorrow to feel it out a bit more. 9 months out is a bit of a bummer, but with this location I have hope it will still have legs by then!

, I would not encourage the use of the stock market if you're plan is to use those funds for RE.

On top of this I manage several properties while trying to lead  a meaningful family life.  

Thanks @Daniel Gonzalez & @Rafael Norat for the words of encouragement.

Some people swear by it and I encourage them to do Fix & Flips because it makes them feel better and it ties them up doing "busy work" so I can find the real deals. ;-) Also, I think the market is changing (I know a lot of people don't agree with me and that is fine) and those techniques are ideal when the market changes, I always react "contrarian" to the market and I've made a lot of money doing so.I don't think that it is that people don't agree with you - it is that we don't believe you. 

Matthew Jurica I will be grateful forever that Dave Ramsey's book pushed me to get out of debt and get my finances right.Keeping that in mind, I found myself lost when he encourages to invest in the stock market.

Thanks for everyone's input, insight and encouragement over the years here on BP.Cheers!

And lastly, encouragement for taking my time to find the right tenants.  

It's simple, direct deposit is preferred and highly encouraged.
