I understand there are some other factors I glossed over like gaining the approval of the first seller to switch collateral and the lien in second position, gaining approval of the second seller to put a second position lien below the big loan, and scheduling the sale of the first property to coincide with the purchase of the second property.

In the pitch I include just a couple of my projects from the last year as a reference to my experience. 

Augusta indeed offers great potential with a strong rental market driven by factors such as population growth and a stable job market.

Meaning, if you take the money only, you would have depreciation recapture from your cost basis up to the original purchase price of the building (not including the land cost because it wasn't depreciable), plus a capital gain up to the insurance proceeds.Hope this makes sense. 

Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.
