Parking situation: previous landlord has never allocated the parking space, so third floor tenant put their personal staff on the parking space; the other tenant ended up parking their car on the lawn.

With that, I have a lot to either pay off, consolidate, or a combination of the two.I'm going to break down debt amounts in total and by monthly payment with scenarios of what my DTI may be when paying off certain amounts of debt/accounts.Of course, we wanted to avoid private mortgage insurance, but the primary goal is to get debt paid off so I'm at a good DTI and so I can get my credit score higher for a lower interest rate.We are planning on moving to KC from the Twin Cities area in the early spring, so we're allocating about $3k to moving.So, we have about $40k in savings, including the money we made from the house sale.Income=$24/hr, $3840/moHere's how the debt breaks down.1) Credit card 1: 4021 bal, 183/mo2) Credit card 2: 8032 bal, 218/mo3) Credit card 3: 11084.30 bal, 133.49/mo4) Credit card 4: chase 401.60 bal, 5.04/mo6) Line of credit: 762.36 bal, 0/mo7) Insurance (renter's & auto) 232/mo8) Cell phone 33.14/mo9) Student loan 1: 96.55/mo10) Student loan 2: 126/mo11) Personal loan: 250/mo, about $9k balance13) Line of credit 2: 1900bal, 25.20/mo14) Credit card 5: 463.09 bal, 16/mo =1429.4215) Rent 1100/mo=$2418.42 debt payments per monthSo, $2418.42/$3840=.62979 DTI, or 63%.

My question is, out of my 8hrs in the day to build my business, how should I allocate my time?

I imagine this is something you allocate initially (per your comments) versus a variable figure that is quite arbitrary throughout the investment period.

Another tip I've learned is to open LOC's, borrow against it, and allocate into a vehicle you can access when things get spooky and LOCs start to get shut off.

You'll have to allocate a certain amount to repairs and who will manage the property?

Some have purchased with a 203k loan, some with a regular FHA loan, and some with a normal conventional loan.What typically impacts their decision on their type of financing is the deal itself, how much cash they want to allocate for a down payment, and how much deferred maintenance or lack thereof the property has. 

To get the opinions of experienced investors as to where to allocate the capital.

Search the forums for lots of discussion on the topic.But, to be succinct, imagine buying a $1M fourplex that generates $8500/m in gross income.Now, make a spreadsheet to figure out what each of the following could be:"Cash Flow" - The amount of money left in your bank account at the end of the month (ignoring reserves and non-recurring expenses)Free Cash Flow - The amount of money you can count on at the end of the year (allocating $ for reserves, vacancy, etc)Total Return - The amount that your net worth will increase by holding the investment (includes free cash flow + gains from paying down mortgage principal)Total Projected Return - The amount that your net worth will increase, based on market projections (includes projected gains/losses due to housing market price changes, development/value add for the property, or changes in CAP rate).IRR - Wrap it all up for the expected length of time you'll hold the property to see how it'll perform overall and to compare it to properties in other locales.Now, adjust all those for your personal tax situation to figure out whether it's a good investment for you.For San Diego, you should be able to look at different situations to see why it makes sense for some people to invest there.I haven't yet seen broad agreement on exactly what to call each of those terms *for REI* - there's a difference in terms that real estate finance pros use vs. how us mere mortals speak.  

Some will say pay it all off, but then the argument is that you'll deplete all cash that would essentially be allocated for investment purposes.
