Most events have a needs/wants portion where you can present. 

Or, maybe it tanks after your "pay off" event, and you now aren't in a position to capitalize. but either way, your $x dollars ahead every month due to the payments being gone vs.You use that 20k now, get a cash flowing property, but the market tanks and you can't get all your cash back out, let's say, none of it (although, likely to get SOME of it back even in a down turn), but you have a cash flowing property, and the same bills you have now?

This seems to be referring to what is often called a "Registered Agent", or someone official in the state who should always be serve-able in the event a process, notice, order, or other legal item needs to be served.For example, many states require every LLC to have a registered agent, which is commonly the attorney that filed the company's formation paperwork. 

One example is Aloha Capital (you can google them - they were a print advertiser in the inaugural issue of Bigger Pockets Wealth).
