Additionally, the estimate for my tax preparation for this year was approximately $1,000 over the cost I paid last year (including the time I paid for them to correct their errors).

I paid too much!

We paid cash and have no mortgage. 

i have people in my network who find deals; they get paid if I buy them; i diligence them; and then my PMs manage them.i didn't look at your profile, but do you already own rentals? 

January rent has not been paid to the property owner, as I am sure the lease spells out, but to someone else.

Borrowing against your paid off house without an income puts way too much pressure on the success of whatever deal/project you decide to pursue. 

I’m in the Greater Seattle area—would paid ads work for this niche?

So as long as I paid no issues.. and most of those I sold on wraps. when i started buying homes via sub to I did over 100 of them..

am working with them now and had the first policy (with Spinnaker) cancelled for nonpayment/late payment so we rewrote another policy (with Millenial) and having the same payment problem again but at least they are communicating that cancellation is coming. they want me to pay by credit card over the phone so the payment wont be late and cancelled again. but when i go to mycoverageinfo.com to check on status it shows its been paid.

I paid $27,000.
