Can be a good way to get semi passive income. 

@Kyle RobertsonIt’s been a year now self employed and it’s been messy, hard, semi-depressing at times, small moments of questioning myself —- done in a pandemic... a lot of crazy highs and lows and emotional roller coasters... some of my greatest single-time paychecks and some stretches with with almost nothing... having a bad@$$ wife helps a ton as she went back to work for a while to support me...

I feel the investment climate has changed radically since my last post and wanted to get some advice on the safest places (diversification, I believe, is key) to park the remaining cash that would generate enough passive income to semi-retire (these recent deaths have left me emotionally and physically exhausted and I feel I need a year or two to recover on a beach somewhere).

I don't want them to be too cramped, in case some tenants need deliveries via semi-truck. 

No excuses.While you might have had a phone discussion to get your initial questions asked, here's a semi-random list of topics we're often asked to discuss, which I'm sure is incomplete:Annual interest ratePointsFeesLTV and how it's calculated (based on ARV or purchase price or ?).

If you pay the tax, keep in mind you would have until next year to pay it so perhaps take the $1.5M and reinvest into more deals that would net profits to pay s the tax so at the end of the day, perhaps you would still be left with $1.5M or 1031 and with the buy and hold, obtain cash flow passively to semi passively for years to come and not pay any tax.Your thoughts are appreciated.- Will Barnard

"Semi-retired" and looking to put some cash to work.  

So, you have a semi-finished look without having any surface that is easily damaged by some water.

I will buy 1 or 2 semi loads of shingles at a time if I can swing this, and my profits will pay my deductible on the ones with a $1K deductible each. 

I semi-enjoy the job but at the end of the day... it is still a 9-5 and that is not what I have ever wanted.
