Plus having the liquid cash when forclosures start is going to be very useful to me (I think). 

As leases expire? 

We inherited all 4 tenants and are converting them to our leases as their previous leases expire-so far we've had some headaches but nothing more major than any of our local holdings.

Upon speaking to the realtor, he indicated seller financing was a possibility and the owner was liquidating several properties in the area and moving away.

Option 2: So as another option, I'm thinking of buying a 2/1 condo (~$350k // 5% down, funded by liquidating stocks) in Ventura.  

Dwight your lender will want to see 3-6 months of liquid reserves in order to approve the loan.

My thought process is, I don't see the price of E going down anytime, and if we can at the very least lower the majority of our bill with these panels, it's a win. 

  (98% of our leases require rent to be paid on the 1st of each month.)HOWEVER, if the tenant does not use EFT or other e-payment or credit card, and they write a check on, let's say, the 10th of the month, we must wait until that check clears the bank.  

Thank you so very much for posts and so valuable informations.i am studying really intensive way,so mad with myself,I do it so late.The best luck to you golden hearted people e
