If you plan renting out this property, that cost recovery comes from cash flow (equity doesn't count). 

You could check out a book by Dave Van Horn called Real Estate Note Investing.

This keeps it fair.

Local REIA groups and meetups (check Meetup.com or BiggerPockets) are excellent for connecting with both new and experienced investors.I’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the market or share insights.

& @Jay HinrichsGreat information guys.

Now, I had to figure out how to move the funds.

I only spoke with one person so far and they scheduled for more information gathering/ rental investment calls from them this upcoming week.

.- still did not receive the check from the NJ Victims of Crimes office.At this point, I want to file for eviction at the end of the month if she delays the event by 1 day to pay her entire rent ( January and February).My question to you professional is, should I inform her of that decision in advance?
