One hill I will die on is optimizing for minimal assembly.

It's because typically people say they want financial freedom but are looking for an easy button where they do minimal work and all this success happens in their life.

If you want to minimize your risks talk to your Banker, Realtor, other investors.

The sale of $1m is not nearly enough to interrupt the market, particularly over a couple of weeks.

Seems like a nice bed of cash coming in to use as a launch point - plus minimal cash out the door on initial purchase.  

I recommend starting small and looking for turnkey properties to minimize the stress of managing rehabs.

@Thomas F Blaskey If your gain after expenses is minimal (~$15K), selling outright is straightforward, with modest taxes on the gain (15%) and depreciation recapture (25%).

You'll have quality tenants, minimal hands-on management, and lower potential maintenance issues.

This was buying dead brands where PROFESSIONALS in those particular industries in question couldn’t avoid bankruptcy and every single major brand in those industries failed to bid even a minimal amount to buy those brand names  - because they knew those brand names were worthless.  

Just curious what is the long term plan as far as minimizing tax in later years as the account in pre-tax become huge?
