Family financial dealings of any kind are fraught with danger as one is always walking on egg shells.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!

Did you change cell phone number ?

Selling that property and moving to a cheaper locale would go a long ways towards generating a next egg.

Go with your vision, put your eggs in that basket and focus like hell on that basket. 

That will put you in the best position to get your nest egg started.

B&H will always be my bread and butter or meat and potatoes if you will, but as long as the geese keep laying those golden eggs and my loans keep dropping like flies I can branch out to steeply discounted cash buys I lease option to handy people that improve my properties for me at insane returns. 

@Jamie Burns @ahmad felo PM me your email and/or your cell numbers. 

Personally, after paying off the student loans I'd invest most of your income in something more liquid than RE until you have a sizable nest egg to work with.  

One of the agents I work with has a cell phone app that ties directly into the MLS, that does this.
