I'm thinking that the $2,000 allocated to online marketing would be better spent marketing for cash investors to sell properties to than for sellers. 

But if you can allocate the funds to get a great coach who will not only educate you but MOTIVATE you over the entire first year of your REI business start-up, I think that's an excellent investment in your new real estate business.

Mark I was just thinking with it being year end some sellers will dump properties really cheap for cash offers to clear their books.I do not want to mess with finance, loans, any of that stuff.I am closing commercial deals for my clients so my time is allocated there doing those kinds of things.I am thinking of it simply because I run across a lot of value add type stuff.

I am allocating part of the security deposit for cleaning and trash removal.Looking ahead, I will be much more rigorous about screening the tenants and enforcing my lease. 

I might allocate 50k of that 100k in to my business income, because im actually doing 50k in work.
