Personally, I would invest a majority of it in inversely correlated ETF's with a brokers that allows your to borrow at a low rate against your stock.

While you have a bidding war to lose, you also could potentially lose a good bit of upside if the market drops between now and Spring.If gambling and trying to time the market is something you want to try, I recommend you hold off until next winter after the election, hope that there is a major change in which parties are elected, and then take advantage of the influx of new politicians and their staffs to DC (who will be looking for places to live).Of course, I believe that's a bad decision as well.

Spinning my wheels, networking with as many investors as possible, searching for the real deals, just basically putting in work and realizing it doesn't happen over night...For all the major players, the true investors: if you would please,enlighten me and all the newbies out there, what your typical day or week is spent doing...

Have not heard of such a thing...Every major area has their own MLS (it's not centralized), and in the Atlanta metro area, there are actually two major listing services -- The GAMLS and the FMLS.Depending on which part of Atlanta metro you're in, it's much more likely that an agent is using one of these MLS services and not the other.

But I didn't like the terms of the current deal considering how much work the house needed and my own lack of experience at quantifying how much a major rehab would cost.

Paint after major repairs/modifications are done, not before, and those shiny new appliances can wait until almost last so they don't get damaged in the chaos.
