So a MAJOR calculation is what is the deployment of that capital if one were to free it up, what would you do with it and does it make sense, or more importantly a profitable ROI against the cost to free it up. (2) Leverage/Risk I know, risk is what parent's yap about, nobody ever want's to hear about Ralphie shooting his eye out, but risk is very important.

I'd find more than one property and deploy my cash to make it make more money for me. 

I look forward to meeting him (and you, if your interested) in the fall when I return from deployment and fly out to kick off my business. 

But I deploy only 10% of the capital in the Roth IRA for the puts.

but you could deploy your money out of state and make a return. 

The only time I seen or noticed where master lease options work, is if the property is operating below market standards, distressed, bad management etc ... then the master lease would be a good option to deploy.

But you need to understand it and deploy capital based on your risk tolerance.

Additionally, I read earlier today that you held cash in the bank and readily deployed in March when stocks were down and have since made decent profits.

When the base deploys, expect to see rents drop in and around the area.

We ended up buying a short sale her in the Riverside, IL neighborhood, and the equity we gained from this house has been deployed through cash out refinances and a HELOC.
