What is the safest way to store the money and keep it liquid?

I put in ~$500,000 in repairs, upgrades, furniture, etc and converted to a 4 bedroom. 

You didn't mention home insurance and that will need to be set up before closing.Don't buy anything yet (don't rack up you credit card balances), but window shop at the hardware store. 

If you can, go several times, so you can watch it happen from the foundation all the way up.If you live close to a store like Home Depot or Lowe's, sometimes they have free classes on "how to install a ceiling fan" or "how to paint". 

A few examples of when you might see a higher cap rate is a non-credit tenant (mom and pop, one store operator, hand to mouth financials) or you might see this with a tenant whose lease term is set to expire in the near term (2 -3 years or less).

It takes a couple times to get your balance down, but I can literally go for over an hour where I can't go for more than 30 minute watching tv.Madden keeps me excited and completely engaged, I don't even think about working out.I also try to lift twice a week in my home, but I hurt my shoulder two months ago and I haven't been able to lift much at all.I always try to stop at a grocery store instead of fast food.

True, I never built anything more than a treehouse when I was eleven, but technically a treehouse is a house so…All I had to do was work with Honomobo to finalize the design, get architectural drawings, receive HOA approval, get a county building permit, get a driveway permit, clear trees for a build site, find a logging truck to take those trees to a lumber mill, find a mill, find someone to take the lumber from the mill to my house, dry the lumber, take a semester of woodworking to learn how to make furniture, engineer/permit/build a septic system, get a well permitted and drilled, install a well pump, learn what a pitless is, install a water line from the pump to the foundation, install a pressure tank, connect the house plumbing to the septic and pressure tank, get the the power company to permit and install a podium for power on site, run power to the foundation, connect the power to the house, engineer a foundation, excavate, get two different sized steel wet plates fabricated, pour said foundation with wet plates mounted all at the same elevation in twenty-five precise locations, hire a crane, hire rigger, hire a welder, build a retaining wall because the dropoff from house to ground level was higher than expected, insulate the crawl space on my own by watching a YouTube video to learn how to load .22 caliber cartridges into a ramstead gun and shoot two and a half inch nails through insulation board into my foundation, badger a supply company until they finally delivered the right insulation board, get them to take away the wrong insulation board they brought that was broken by the wind and scattered into pieces all over the property, find an illusive 3x3 foot crawlspace door, learn how to use a core drill to make a four and a half inch hole in my foundation to install a code required fan to vent the crawlspace that my engineer thought was a stupid requirement and failed to tell me about, figure out what the hell going on when the Honomobo project manager tells me the measurements you gave him of the now poured foundation are wrong, have a panic attack, review plans with engineer, realized the project manager was mistaken, scream into the void, get the last available short term rental license application that had a thirty-day expiration window to pass all inspections, coordinate all subcontractors needed on install day, check with the sheriff about parking semi-trucks on the road, rent a porta potty, rent a dumpster, have coffee and donuts for everyone, oversee the Honomobo install crew that didn’t need overseeing, pass a blower test, pass state inspection, pass septic inspection, build a wooden curb to cover protruding rebar for an unpoured patio, build a temporary front door landing that could theoretically be be permanent so as to pass final county inspection, get a certificate of occupancy, pass the county short term rental inspection on the very last day before it expired to get the very last available license so that I could rent the house to make money in order to no have immediately have to sell, pour the sidewalk and patio.

I was recently referred to LendingOne by a fellow investor and just wanted to share my experience thus far as I feel there's a lot of marketing bait and switch happening with lenders that advertise terms and loan structures...Our past and current project:  We do buy-rehab-refi-hold (airbnb) rentals, not regular rehab flips.First off let me start with the things I think LendingOne excels at:Nice dashboard to upload and store all your documents to track how the loan process is coming along. 

A benefit to having the commercial property and entity is that we aim to utilize business credit, so that our personal credit and debt to income ratio is not tanked as we remodel or redesign or buy furniture. 

You do not need to have a license to manage an apartment community.Property management can then be broken down into "annual" property management (normally a unit without furniture), a seasonal rental management (such as 2 weeks to several months up to 6 months) and then vacation rentals (sometimes for the weekend, a week, etc..).Each state has its different rules and licensing for each area of property management (annual, seasonal and vacation) as well as the different areas of management (association, apartment and property).I hope that helps.My understanding is that if you are an EMPLOYEE of the property owner you do not need to have a license; if you provide property management services as your management co owned business or as an independent contractor, then you do need a license.
