I used to give a $$$ credit each year for grass seed, mulch, perennials, should tenant want to use it, covering materials only, not labor, but found most didn't do it, anyway.

Well as Deepak Chopra said "every problem contains the seed of opportunity" - and the seeds from this event are going to arrive much sooner than expected.

These initial funds are the "seed" money injected in a deal just to acquire and control the property while you prepare your exit strategy which is usually either sell or BRRR.  

Don't spend any of your seed money...use it. 

@Michael Fitts Hardware stores are booming , my buddy owns one , he has sold out of seed and fertilizer spring supply in a week , he has ordered more .They ran out of  paint , because everybody stuck home is painting .

Read up on the specific rules.You can find charts that compare traditional vs ROTH IRA's.The way I explain it to people is you can pay tax on the seeds or on the crop.

My intention is to have this initial seed investment be both a way to provide security for my new family, ideally security that requires little to no out-of-pocket expenses for us monthly, and eventually can cash flow upon our exodus.

Previous owner took it over 18 months prior from an older lady who had let it go to seed. 

Hi Jamall,Go down to a Temp Agency and tell them you want to work on your days off.Then take whatever work they have for you and pocket it 100% (less taxes).That will give you some seed money because having something in the bank is better than having nothing in the bank.
