I think I’d like to start investing in my Roth IRA which I have but haven’t contributed since I’ve bought the duplex back in September 22 but I’m trying to figure out my budget again because I’ve moved to Los Angeles to live with my gf.My reserves have definitely taken a hit so I’d like to build it back up and am hesitant to start contributing again until I can have a reserve for my real estate (thinking 6 months worth until I’m comfortable contributing to Roth again)Is this dumb?

I've been a little hesitant to even bring this section up as I didn't feel comfortable speaking to it. 

Overall, if youre comfortable with keeping the rate and payment you have at the moment, apply the difference toward principal reduction.

But that will also give you the cushion to be comfortable until cash flow starts again. 

We designed some, furnished and manage them.

They have made it clear to me that they refer to me because they are comfortable/confident that I will take good care of the client which reflects better back on them, keeping their reputation strong and earning them real estate referrals from the client if they end up happy with the whole experience (which is much more valuable to them than a few hundred bucks from me).

I have a business proposal to send to investors which says in it I'm open to starting as small or big as they're comfortable with and list a couple different financing suggestions and equity splits.  

There are those that do it, & feel quite comfortable.

You will get comfortable talking to fellow investors and eventually meet a few that you can do business with.I have been investing and networking for quite awhile.
