Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

Do not use the 140K as a down payment on a new rental you plan to hold for a long time.

I have a small investment project development in Boston currently on hold that I will certainly consider the partnering principal for.  

If I truly believe selling now is in their best interest, I will share my thoughts and support my opinion with some kind of data.

I can also maybe put a hold on his bank account using the judgment.

fix/flips, buy and hold, short term rentals, wholesaling?   

My end goal is to relocate to TX and in the interim , if I can use this opportunity to hold on to one door as a rental property( my current home ), I would like to assess the financial merits and demerits of the same.

Other real estate investors have also been very successful in areas such as Fayetteville and Moore County renting to military service members or even short term rentals supporting the PGA tour.

I agree with the other responses so far and will had some info where I can.I am not too familiar with the DC market, but from my understanding there are plenty of high paying jobs there to support rents.

I'm a huge supporter of our service men and women.
