Looking for thoughts and suggestions on how to utilize these new funds for real estate investing.

Though my response might help others, common courtesy suggests you thank those who took the time to answer you.

Someone suggested mid-term rentals may yield better cash flow.

suggest you find a different attorney firm to work with...they'll take a cut, but worth it.

.: I just did this exercise - I liked ranking them so I could look at the big picture. 

How would you suggest that I paid an extra $58K toward my mortgage over the last three years, btw, if it's not the strategy working?

Quote from @Dave Allen: Quote from @Zeke Liston: Quote from @Dave Allen: I'm in a bit of a situationMy wife and her parents are selling a duplex they own together.My wife is trusting me to re invest into cash positive investments.We could stand to take as much as a quarter million, and tax free since we lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years.What are some suggestions for markets that would provide cashflow?

I would choose the agent who suggested the higher price.

We value the opportunity to work with clients and partners in the real estate community.To address @David Ramirez' suggestion, if any title issues are found, the earnest money is fully refundable.

Do you suggest file 1065 or be treated as disregarded entity on schedule E.
