Knows what block is better and why.A good egg.Sells real estate as their sole income and passion.Has a network of handymen, contractors, insurance, CPA's, legal... who do they know that can help me?

We have a lovely home about 3 blocks back from the beach in Port Aranas Texas.

I’ve seen some examples where same house a block away (one zoned for rental and the other not) being priced 50 percent apart and the one double in price (zoned for rental) selling much faster than the other. 

The plumber stated that there were roots and about 6ft of "flushable" wipes that were blocking the pipes.

In addition, the electrical box is in the middle of the finished space with nothing blocking it off.

Until then that had been a really quiet block.

Numbers work, I can easily manage, and the location is 2 blocks from a college. 

Equity: $300K-I currently live in a 2/1 condo a block from the beach with $40K in equity worth $505K-I plan to sell my condo (mortgage: $2,600 + $350 HOA = $2,950) I currently live in to cash in on $40K  and release my VA loan (military) so ...…………….SHOULD I1 - Use my 250K for a down payment to buy a state of the art /new home 3/3/2 larger property; kitchen island, smart house, 2 car garage and extremely large rooftop deck, a block from the beach with a HOT HOT market for a house for $875K that will significantly increase in cost as they are building new restaurants and breweries in the area making it extremely desirable and pay 4K monthly (already pre-approved)or2 - Buy a 2-4 unit plex somewhere inland that is not as nice as the market in San Diego is high for 2-4 units and live in one unit and rent the others.Please advise as I want to have the most cash flow, but also want to have a bigger place for my 2 kids that is near the beach that is atleast 3 bedroom.Is there anything else I should be looking at for now?

I would say you put the amount you paid in full in the down payment block and fill in your rehab and closing costs.

She can't block your access to the unit.
