@Alecia Prigmore, with 9 months of runway, you should be in a great spot depending on your saving habits.

looking for a way great way to present properties to allow buyers to view all the info in one spot. thanks!

There are some things to watch out for in the area that a RE agent will also know to spot. 

I like TX, FL, TN, and NC personally but can be convinced to other areas that have growing populations and economies (and landlord friendly laws).If you're looking for a multifamily property that you could owner-occupy, there are some great spots around LA where you could use that $500K to get into a quadplex (or larger) in a really strong rental market where you'll have little issue getting highly qualified tenants.

I have initial spots on every page and multiple signatures throughout the lease.

Silver Eagles, but they wanted $5 over spot.

If there is something within 5 hours of me that has the same cash flow as spots like vegas and phoenix, Im all ears.

One more thing, about crawling, walking, and then running.

I am issuing the Fire Marshall to do a spot inspection, I also expect to go to see him afterwards, with a cop, to offer him a deal to leave.

When I show-up they always have $100 bills in cash (I do write them a receipt on the spot).
