Simplicity: TDAs require minimal effort after initial setup, making them attractive for those seeking stress-free investment.For investors like myself, seeking both stability and growth, combining a TDA with real estate investments creates a diversified portfolio.

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.

For example, our agreement includes a clause stating that we seek the owner's permission for any expenses over $500.

None of us are as smart as we think we are when an investment goes right.Lastly, I'll borrow a thought from Morgan Housel - don't seek the investments with the best returns; seek the investments that will allow me to make an average return for the longest period of time.
