I am also a great believer in investing when there is distress and deploying capital when you can.If you are looking for yield in the short run, Manhattan may not be for you.

To that end, a primary residence does not generate income that one can deploy toward expediting early financial freedom.

I have $60k-$100k that I'm willing to deploy, and do some learning with.

Why share my dreams with them, they have no clue nor do they want to know… It will literally drag you down…Back home (I’m deployed) it’s hard for me and my wife to even find friends that can afford to hang out with us…I’m not trying to brag but I can give you a few examples.

Also the opportunity cost of not deploying your capital in an investment vehicle yielding more than 7% is high. 

Those who fail in the sinlge family space purchase in stagnant markets that never experience the appreciation event, sell too early, or continue to own and operate the portfolio after the neighborhood transition occurs and therefore fail to re-deploy the equity when the opportunity presents itself.

Another friend is a Seal - bought a house in IB, house hacked it/rented it out when deployed for long periods of time.

So far this winter they've been "deployed" 3 times.

. #3) Capital planning/strategy For maximum efficiency you should have at least a rough idea of the phases of deploying capital.

Then plan and design how you're going to deploy that cash via what strategy your wife and you have confidence in.I use a excel or google doc and my first sheet would layout all of the details of the sale including all costs that go into getting closed.
