With loan origination fees I am paying the difference of $46K out of pocket which took me almost 2 yrs to save up for.I am deploying my cash savings of the remainder to close on the home which has me exposed for current emergencies or worst case scenario I have to divest stock positions form my Roth or 401k I didn't plan to for the next 5-10 yrs, which I don't want to do.  

I understand it’s not an easy method to deploy, however, I was merely looking for someone who may have done something similar.

Get educated.Step 3: After a year or more, start to deploy your capital.

You've made $600k appreciation, which is ready to deploy to another deal.

Only catch is deployment or PCS orders can get them out of a lease.

I am also a great believer in investing when there is distress and deploying capital when you can.If you are looking for yield in the short run, Manhattan may not be for you.

Someone told you correctly, you would want to get that money in a bank and let it season while you are figuring out where to deploy the future digital cash, unless you have a REALLY GOOD place to explain where that came from.

Go deploy that equity somewhere else where you can achieve a greater return.Let me know if you decide to sell as-is or fixed up.

If you get a phase one and later the sight is contaminated you can often deploy the (innocent landowners defense).

So the question should be "If I deploy $50,000 into residential long term rental real estate, what return should I expect to see on that investment?"
