Indy is a strong market with a great mix of cash flow and appreciation potential, plus it’s very landlord-friendly.

When looking at properties in other cities, I usually start by researching market trends like price-to-rent ratios, crime rates, and growth potential.

If you currently rent for $2,500 and take the $1,750; you have additional positive cash flow of $750 for your rent situation.Have you thoroughly looked over the capex potential issues? 

The stock market offers liquidity and potential appreciation but comes with volatility.

It also offers a chance to shift into something more passive, reducing the hands-on management that seems to be more of a hassle now that you’ve moved.That said, the rental income potential from your properties is worth noting, but there’s a limit to how much you can boost your cash flow, especially after already making significant upgrades.

The sale failed and he still owns it.One of the potential solutions is to use an SBA 504 loan for the real estate. 

I wrote a letter to the HOA yesterday explaining why the door was needed, how security would be very tight, and how the HOA itself could potentially be responsible for any ADA fines/penalties if they are found to the "barrier to access" for ADA as they control the lobby.We have a tenant lined up and obviously this is causing a major issue. 

Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

A couple months ago there was a guest on the BP money pod that said something I really liked, "put your risk in your ROTH" and by that he meant that if you're going to invest in something riskier that has the potential to have large returns, put that in your ROTH account because you're only taxed on what goes IN to your ROTH, not what comes out.

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.
