Matt,You can reinvest into any "Income producing" asset/investment - Stocks, Bonds, Real estate etc.

investor friendly realtor. only work with license & bond contractors, since you’ll be out of state. whoever you get to be ur eyes on any project, make sure you trust them. definitely use that lot for more $$$ either build another rental or let the contractor rent it till you have a SOLID plan. double check laws & zoning! 

Would like to try and expand our services but not sure what else is needed, because I know one of the main questions I hear other people asking is "are they licensed and insured/bonded"  - The state we are in is South Carolina. 

It’s a bond!

(f) Unpaid assessments under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500) of the Streets and Highways Code) that are not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 4671) of Part 8, or that are being collected through a foreclosure action pursuant to Part 14 (commencing with Section 8830) of Division 10 of the Streets and Highways Code.

So, first you must correct the conversation that your looking at owning a BUSINESS vs stocks, bonds, CD's. 

If a post seems too lengthy, it's simple: don't read it and refrain from responding.

Count on mortgage and bond markets to remain volatile, yet range-bound, circling the 6.7-7.5% range.

Take that money and buy RE in other growing markets, stocks, bonds, index funds, high yield savings, or probably a combination of it all. 

Sounds like you'd be shifting assets around from stocks, bonds, savings to real estate.
