Then in our personal property agreement add "2019 Calendar" March 13th: Little Mary learns to ride a bike down the long drivewayJune 4th: Johnny holds his breath for the full length of the pool, he is so proudJuly 6th: Family picnic in the expansive yardLOL/JK

Rather than committing a 'large line of credit' to actually make the purchase and hope to come out the other end with a profit, executing an option contract with the seller instead on a distressed property could be done with 10% or less of the capital commitment, plus provide the investor with breathing room to determine if they can actually make the deal work out.This used to be called 'speculating'; now it all seems to be lumped under the general category of 'wholesaling' and considered to be the equivalent of swindling... 

At this point when we get this duplex rented and refinanced we are going to take a breathe and not do any more investing until  approx August of 2016.  

Nonetheless, a better question is - do you want some breathing room or some wealth?

Sell it, bank your profits, put it in a MM/savings account at 1.5-2% while you catch your breath with the move, then go from there.

If you feel stressed now using your own money, how will you feel when an investor is breathing down your back wanting his money back?

Just my 2 cents but you may want to take a deep breath and not rush to fill the vacancies immediately.

@Remington Lyman I do not invest in the Columbus market currently however it comes up all the time in the same breath as Indianapolis. 

I do not hold my breath for anything the government pledges, though.

@Andrew Brown Take a deep breath and remember the maxim that the perfect is the enemy of the good.
