You could invest the pile in an SP500 index fund and earn ~7% a year without lifting a finger. 

As a new landlord, I did a showing where my ‘spidey senses’ were telling me something wasn’t quite right with a prospect who wanted to sign right away, but I couldn’t put my finger on anything tangible and proceeded because I wanted to keep zero vacancy in the house. 

I’m so stoked and keeping my fingers crossed that the appraisal and inspections work in my favor.

I always tell everyone if you trust what other people tell you then you are not ready to invest your money in real estate, in the stock market, in a business venture or even in the bank.You are only ready to invest your money when you know so much about the business that you can tell people what is right and wrong rather than having to ask for advice.RULE # 1 - Never trust someone else to handle your money.RULE # 2 - Never believe that another person knows more about how to invest your money than you do.Rule # 3 - Never trust a broker, account, CPA, so-called professional advisor (whatever the .... that is)Rule # 4 - Never cross your fingers.

Put in an offer on a Tri-plex...fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed.

(For not lifting a finger!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. 

Though it can be a nightmare scenario, I'm trying it right now on the house in San Clemente, and keeping my fingers crossed.

As to the word count, please notice those are usually in the very early hours, 2 to 4 AM during my REM sleep periods, when I go into my RFM (rapid finger movement) sleep patterns I post more  Plans are, to stay out later that should cause these sleep patterns to change a bit, so, all things considered, my word count should drop proportionately to the winter solar cycles, dating patterns and time changes.
