I'm afraid that I wont be able to make the deal happen in two years if my money is tied up in another deal somehow or someway.My wife and I could use the two years to save up for a massive reserve fund(for both properties) for ease of mind in those two years.I also don't want to wait 2 long years and feel like I'm putting my "goals" on the back burner...Thoughts?

Keep it on the back burner. 

I have another on the back burner, but I would like to discuss their experience with the area that my plexes are in.  

You are setting on a perfect launch pad, light the burners and go for the stars!

The burner on the stove was left on when she went to lay down and the rest is history...

In the DMV you show up with your fat deposit and then if you are the winning bidder you have X days to close with X ranging from 15 to whenever the court ratifies the sale, depending on where the property is located.

My car loan has a rate of 3% which ,as others have suggested, can sit on the back burner until it is paid off.

-Any fat in the T12, like paying for a full time maintenance man, bill back H2O and the like?

Beware, however - you may be comparing your 'market' with other places that have been fixed up and are fresh on the market, so be sure you are going apples to apples.One of my vendors has a saying: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

I have put my investing plans on the back burner for several years and now I have the time to do it, I just don’t have the W-2 and a steady income that I had years ago.
