On my only deployment, I had a lot of down time.

@David Fernandez  It depends on what opportunities you are giving up in order to deploy this capital.

I've had the pleasure of listening to multiple BP podcasts that have featured this idea and it's definitely something I'd like to deploy for my personal living.

This is very interesting for my seller financing strategy I plan on deploying and could be of benefit to the OP (My strategy is to buy free and clear properties with 100% seller financing with prepayment lockout for 15-20 years with a market interest rate).

Going through the screening (pre-showing / pre-application process).This applicant's spouse is deployed.

He always puts his family and his troops first, and has led me and others on numerous deployments.

The trouble is, I have no idea what the best way is to deploy their money.

If you're more concerned about what you can accomplish now, then deploying your money today is an effective strategy.

That number will give you something to compare to other investment vehicles that will tell you if this capital is better put somewhere else (if there is actually capital to deploy after a sale).

I am considering pulling out equity from one of the properties, not for immediate deployment, but just to have some fire power should the market start to slow and come back down.
