@Vishal Taylor you can have your cake and eat it too through the use of a-- 721 UPREIT.A number of the top REITS allow you to initially 1031 into a DST on a temporary basis and after 2 years the REIT absorbs the DST and converts your ownership into shares in the REIT. 

But when you wake up in the morning and feel a draw to start looking through homes or listing within the first hour that your are awake, I don't think it is difficult to continue to persist.Or if you simply want to eat and feed your family.. its a chosen profession.  

It's honestly very simple; how did you find where you wanted to eat this week?

Taking the costs from the security deposit only makes sense if they already think they aren't getting it back, in which case you will eat the loss.

IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS (WHEN DETERMINING YOUR BUY PRICE WITH THE SELLER OF THE FORECLOSURE DEAL WHICH WILL BE THE BANK): $300,000 X 70% - ( $20,000 + $10,000 + $1,500 + $20,000) = PRELIMINARY NEGOTIATED PRICE210,000 - (51,500)=$158,500 WILL BE YOUR ASKING PRICE-  REMEMBER YOU CAN EXHAUST THE $20K BUFFER AND CAN EAT INTO SOME OF YOUR WHOLESALE FEE IF NEEDED OR IF DEALING WITH A TOUGH SELLER. 

Or eat it yourself.I give tenants three options and one week to respond:1.

Would that not eat up all your cash flow repaying?

But at any rate, rather than get into all that, better to just eat the $400 or whatever and save yourself them being in there 2-4 extra months, which costs what 10 times that. :/  

You can find weekend work in pretty much any area of real estate.Whether that be on the agent side, lending, title and escrow, property management, wholesaling, or working for an investor.Any of these would be good options for you but some are going to be more stable, W2-type jobs and others will be "you kill what you eat" while getting some experience.With your background and ambition, I have no doubt that you will be able to find something that suits you.There is also a "Jobs" area in BP under the "Network" tab.

I am worried about unforseen CapEx (2-3 year down the line) which would eat up the cash-flow that would have been accumulated.Here is an example property based out Milwaukee, WI.
