In the end, I never had to move or sell my house, I kept most of the rental property (for some reason she didn't think they were worth much or didn't want to deal with them), and was used to living on almost nothing, so once it was all over, it was like all of a sudden having a large amount in extra cash each month because it wasn't being spent immediately upon hitting the bank account. as a result of maintaining a level headed relationship with my ex however, we didn't need to liquidate or sell the business we still have (as our lawyers were trying to convince us to do)... hopefully in the end things will become very good for you also.   

Instead of ramping up my marketing and waiting until a deal happens, the wholesaler already has a marketing program and deals in the pipeline.On my latest deal, the guy wholesaling the property really went the extra mile.

I would also be extra diligent in screening because you are at risk of taking anyone to fill a vacancy, which is a classic mistake.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let me ask you this:If you can make an average of 14%-30% ROI on money you invest into real estate, then why would you rush to pay off a 5% note with your extra cash?  

You will pay extra for short term rentals. 

I think REI is a GREAT way to spend that extra time, and definitely a great way to build up wealth for future passive income.
