We sprayed the wood that was damaged with a combination of bleach and multipurpose cleaner - not sure if that got rid of it or just masked the smell enough...

I would wait for interest rates to drop if you need liquidity.

Net worth and liquidity to pay tax are two very different things..

Typically the suit amount is based on damages to the plaintiff, not the assets of the defendant.You can also note, typically no lawyer wants to wait for an LLC to liquidate to get paid. 

The play is a 3 to 5 year hold, raise rents to get the valuation up to 600K and liquidate to 1031 into another investment.

We have $3k liquid cash that we are able to add to capital secured from Equity Partnerships and Private Lenders. 

If saving more helps you put more down on the rental AND you want to buy quickly, consider that route.If you are slow playing your next purchase, maybe you go a different route.Personally, I do not mind being more liquid and collecting interest or investing in the market vs paying debt down, but that is me...

This is believed to help put liquidity into the home buying process by taking these loans off the books of banks and mtg companies.Now Freddie has started to purchase 2nd mortgages.

The best system will include today, soaker hoses to water foundation, not just spray heads.If there is no sprinkler, I would think it is not easy or cheap to hire someone to water. 

Bring a can of white spray paint with you if you feel the need to touch it up though unless you have exactly the same shade, it will leave marks.Evaluate each request on its own merit and decide if it needs to be done or if it can wait.
