Is offering the Linda McKissack's 10% a good idea or is it premature to be thinking about what to offer?

One is not exclusive to the other, and a wise investor should diversify his assets.So I currently have a TL policy that will pay out a set benefit to my wife should I die prematurely. 

I know many are "blaming" the SEC/gov't etc.. for shutting down Pinnacle while they were "processing" our returns but the reality is in about 45 days or so there will be only one of 2 possible outcomes:1. there is enough money to pay back ALL investors2. there is NOT enough money to pay back ALL investorsNow, if its #1 then yeah, SEC shut them down prematurely & we would have all gotten our $$ back within the next 2 months or so.

I want to preserve these terms and the property in the event of my "premature death".

Would it be way to premature to begin marketing this location?

If you roll your extra cash flow back into the principle, you will be making large strides in paying off the mortgage prematurely.

"Only taxes assessed and paid in 2017 can be deducted for 2017" prohibits premature deduction of 2018 taxes in 2017, not deducting 2017 taxes that were prepaid in 2016 but could not be deducted in 2016, due to the very same rule.

I would never use last month's rent or the security deposit prematurely.

Show me a person that lost money in real estate in either of those markets and I'll bet they were premature sellers. 

My opinion is it's a bit premature to buy a house right away if you're not sure that you're going to stay.
