Good luck on your journey and I hope you provide the financial security you hope for to your daughters. 

With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.

I am currently waiting on a rather large legal settlement to hopefully hurry up and get him his $16,000 or if we can find someone to go ahead and pay him off early (no prepayment penalty), which would be hopefully paid off sooner than later as well in exchange for a secured lien on the property plus repayment of the $16,000 plus interest short term.

I would check this out with a seasoned securities attorney for their opinion/guidance.  

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.

While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

They sell an older inventory unit, get all there appreciation and equity liquid, and use it to secure 2 new built units. 

There funding is almost never secured for more then a year at a time.

The seller had a military contractor job with security clearance.
