I would invest about half in a low-cost index fund (something with moderate to low returns and risk) with Vanguard or Fidelity or some other "low fee" funds.

@Paige Seeley - thanks ...the min down payment for a 1 unit rental  property is 15% ...so putting  20% down isnt that much more ....recasting  isnt always  offered for rental properties so you would need to check with lender ....recasting normally has an admin fee of $300-$500 

Tons of fees? 

Hi @Kevin Kim, your post did not mention if you asked the powers that be (lol) if you could keep the one pole, and simply have them install a separate meter for each building.On multi-family property, we have installed multi-meter boxes with external disconnects as per the electrical code in PA.  

Each note is a seperate series of the LLC, so it’s like its own individual LLC without the additional cost of LLC setup or legal fees or state fees.  

I would like a fee schedule where I would pay per call if possible, as opposed to a monthly rate since most things I will take care of myself, except those items listed above since I’m not in the area. 

When I see a last-minute suggestion of bankruptcy in a docket, I avoid bidding on that property because I assume that the foreclosure sale will be canceled, even if it initially proceeds.

You have to use one of those guys or someone will be charging you for a trip to the courthouse at $250/hr and sitting around waiting for the Magistrate to get to their case instead of the $75-$150 per case that a guy who has 10 cases at a time will charge.

Our tenants break our machines so often that we need to charge per use, but I would really prefer not to deal with coins and cash.

But the biggest thing to remember is that there is no penalty (other than the exchange fee) for starting and not completing an exchange.
