I had professional pool maintenance over the years, but that is not your only cost.

I am 37 years old and excited to get started but also want to make the smart responsible decision. 

Which means even if you had an inspector there on that day, it would be a few days before you could get coverage (assuming there were no issues needing remedying first, like an old water heater, roof, etc.).  

My main goals are to diversify from my current business and to invest in assets that can help lower my yearly taxes.What would you suggest?

One went 3 years with no issue and the owner just got shut down. 

Cash invested: $780,000 60% LTV30-Year Fixed Rate7.40%

We net between $45-50k per year and do zero for it.

I am going into my third year of college pursuing a degree in sales at Bowling Green State University.

Roof has been replaced in the past 5 years.

I've have read many books, listened to many podcasts, and read many posts on this forum and still do so, but I sat on the sidelines for a number of years just trying to save enough money in my emergency fund before starting to save some down payment money.
