Don't give short shrift to the tax situation, they can have a profound economic impact on your investments.I throw this out because folks often come on here with VERY basic tax questions.

Having 1/3 cash, 1/3 metal, and 1/3 RE is my constant goal, but it seems whenever I make a purchase, it throws that plan way off track and I'm back to trying to equalize.Thanks for all the great advice guys!

I would make sure you have a partner to be the bad guy if you gotta throw her out.

Also, throw the 2% rule out the window.

You should have had a buyer lined up long before signing a contract and throwing your earnest money out there.

What is it going to do for you to make the cash you're throwing at it worthwhile?

I just hate to get into the habit of casually throwing away money without reason.

If I were to pony up the $10k, that would throw a wrench in my rehab and will end up costing me even more money since I won't be able to hire out for other repairs.No one at closing caught the error, including the realtor who also received an extra $600 broker's fee for "reviewing the documents" with me.

But feel free to try and keep throwing me under the bus for events that took place 2.5 yrs ago.

It's no fun having to throw someone out, but based on what you have said, along with the added delays of giving her more time, I would proceed with the eviction.
