I say that without knowing the alternatives but you will have cash flow AFTER factoring in cap ex so why not? 

Just wanted to offer an alternative perspective.Some people wait until statements come in to send their payments.

Alternatively, the title company you're using might have a lawyer who would be willing to give you a more legally accurate answer to this question. 

It's also the lowest cost bookkeeping software I've found that's an alternative to cloud-based Software.

Be flexible on alternate negotiations.

Alternatively, leaving the insurance in your friend's name raises an interesting issue as to whether the insured (your friend) has an insurable interest in the property (and thus has a right to insurance proceeds if the property burns down).   

Without knowing much about your property or location I'd say a decent thick LVP with foam backing is a reasonable alternative to tile but the substrate needs to be very flat for either of those so preparation is key to a good result.

There are possible alternatives which would allow to you use these funds without paying taxes or penalties.First, you may wish to consider transferring the funds to a self-directed 401k or IRA which will allow you to invest in real estate without incurring taxes or penalties.

@Sean Vanderveer, if you can establish a Solo401K (as it requires you to have self employment income...which you can generate by doing property management for your properties), that is a much better alternative than SDIRA, with multiple advantages.

If you have alternatives I would be happy to look them up as well!
