@Anthony SharpAre those 5 units spread across multiple properties?

Mike:There are too many questions to answer all of them with their nuances, but I can easily tell you what I would do.1) Sell the property and use the IRS homeowner exemption to avoid paying capital gains tax2) Take a portion of proceeds to use as a down payment on your next personal residence3) Use the rest to buy rental property in a lower-cost landlord-friendly stateThis plan is very conservative financially, is likely to generate plenty of passive income to help grow your portfolio in the future, spreads your risk around, and geographically puts you in areas where you can make money today rather than just speculate on appreciation.

I was paid the full policy value, pocketed the spread and sold the lot + house to a rehabber who fixed it up. 

Wanna start off by saying I don’t feed into the panic that the media sells.

If you don’t mind, would you mind sharing the spread sheet as template?

First of all, why are they moving from Paris to OK (not that OK doesn't have its own charms :)) Second, have you spoken with them over the phone/video - do they have social media pages that you can see who they are?

I’ve been trying to reach out to people and post on social media about me being a agent and informing them how I can help.

There was a nice spread and I wanted to get into my first deal.

I have been doing all the market analytics, running spread sheets, cash flow calculators, etc.

I've invested in a few mortgage lending funds.The idea is invested capital is spread over 100 loans.
