A long term play could involve an IRA, whole life, or solo 401(k), if you qualify.Personally I plan on deploying capital as soon as possible so prefer the employer matched 401(k) and savings/checking. 

So I’ve got excess capital sitting around just waiting to deploy towards repairs & cap ex.

I am a stay at home mom and my husband is deployed currently so we only have his income to work off of.

@Mitchell R.Most investors are always looking for ways to deploy their cash.

I typically do not pursue Single Family properties, but I had cash that needed to be deployed and this should be a quick turn around and then a nice cash flowing property.

Just deploy it safely and increase the velocity on your cash.Try networking as much as you can with local investors and with investors on here to find a rockstar agent.

If you have a high-income job and you're simply looking to deploy some of you excess cash into real estate because you know it's a good (and diversified) asset class, then turnkey is a great solution.  

Then you can deploy that capital into a new property, put less down, have more cash on hand and get a stronger ROI on the next deal.

My CPA is good at my complex finances for my deployable job, but I see not so much with real estate.

Anyway I would say there are better deals out there that you can deploy your capital.
