If your plan is to sell after 3-4 years, why not gift your daughter and her partner up to the max of non-disclosure and have her hold the money in a savings account. 

@Alison P.One thing to note (and I’m guilty of this ) by simply saying it’s between the tenants can fester into a problem if not resolved .

The last year I've been saving a lot, and I've never been working so much in my life :-) Extremely motivated!

A self-directed IRA is simply a means of diversifying that tax-sheltered retirement savings. 

DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON ANY EDUCATION YET, 95% of what you need to know you can learn for free.Step 5: Figure out how to live off W (less then you earn)Step 6: Open a savings account and put your savings into it (X+Y+Z)-W= S (Savings).  

Not only did i save about $80k i also learned lot of new things.

Hindsight, I probably just should have done all the interior finish work myself to save money.  

My wife and I have been saving money and paying down debt waiting for the market downturn.

Hi BP,I've heard too many horror stories on property management companies that are not doing their job properly (i.e. do not provide best advice on hazards, termites, do not try to save money when it comes to minor and major fixes around the house and in general do not act as the owner proxy and serve his best interest).From one hand, for 10% (especially on low income neighborhoods) I realize (but not understand) that I can not expect property manager to take care of my house as its own.

After All of my monthly expenses (mortgage, maintenance, utilities, allowances, food...etc) my net income is 3k, which I funnel into my savings as of now until its full funded.I also have $33k in my 403b.
