Now looking back I paid too much up front and put way to munch into the rehab pushing it past the comps.

Might have some failures on the way, but you learn from them, fail better, and keep pushing forward till you make it.

So, think I am leaning towards splitting my windfall equally between the mortgage and investments.There is the lure to be completely done with the mortgage, feel that exhilaration and then to push along with investments in earnest after that..But, your statement towards the end of wishing you had been more aggressive earlier also struck a very strong chord with me.

drainage, gutters, downspouts, and any trees pushing on the foundation? 

That is the agent representing me, the purchaser.I am completely aware the seller pays the commission, but if I were for instance sign my agent with them to only take 1.5 or 2 percent Instead of 3 and that .5 to 1.0 percent discount for the seller would then be pushed back onto my purchase and cause a discount. i know what I want, I know my value and purchase price is worth it even at 1.5 to 2 percent.

Do you just need a software to push your listing and help screen applicants?

But keep pushing forward it's a challenging but exciting journey!

Knowing the process helps me push though those barriers.
