I bought right in San Diego in 2011 and 2012 and 1031 those condos that doubled in value for Apartment complexes in NE Ohio to get a lot of the seed money.  

I did that to fund the rehab for my first flip to generate some seed capital.

I setup automatic withdrawls from my bank paying back into Fidelity.I used this 37k 'seed money' when qualifying for my commercial loan.

You should think about start paying off your mortgages, start with the mortgage with the smallest amount, when that one is paid off apply the new extra cash flow from that one to the next smallest dollar amount mortgage... in the mean time sell the worst 3 properties you own and use that as seed money to start buying in Florida.

There are bad seeds as in anything but If you manage properly from the beginning then it helps tremendously. 

I would however be willing to use them as collateral, borrow my seed money (especially if it was non recourse debt) and take leveraged risks for additional cash flow. 

Make sure the new lease brings all tenants to market rent, this will help clear out the bad seeds and make your transition into ownership easier.

The flowers are followed by orange fruits, which open to reveal two black seeds.

the 10k can be a down payment on an investment or seed money to start your new job.  

I have limited capital at the moment for seed money but I am actively working towards that goal.
