Hi Saul,Vegas and Phoenix are on the pricier side, so you'll need to put a large down-payment down if you want to cover all your expenses with some cash leftover. 

My payment after was 3461 rents 6350(with new tenants coming in I raised rents in apts 2 and 3 to 1800/1850 respectively.  

This lead to piecing together payments here and there and drastically slowed the construction process and major cost overruns.

We are thinking of adding more in the future depending on the relocation plans.Buying a new property in Seattle will mean a new mortgage for 30 years and very likely incur a high DTI with high monthly payments.

Lock-out, should they continue to not come even, would be typically less than 14-days.Unless the tenant comes even with the rent (which would result in dismissal of the non-payment of the case), there is generally limited defense to this process.

My cost they said i could do $2,000 up front and then next couple months more payments with cold calling they offer and fee would be $9,800 plus the cold callers Virtual assisant that would be working with me.

Use the 20K as a down payment on the next house hack and don't touch your current properties equity.

Take the payment in 2 or 3payments.

Are you strapped for the down payment?

I have a large lump sum saved in an investment account for down-payment and any additional costs.
