Push the money into federal municipalities, state municipalities, and paying off your most profitable property in my opinion.Federal and state municipality funds are tax free investments, and mine perform in the 8-9% range, which means tax effective 11-12% range, equal to that of a decent cap return for real estate, plus they usually pay monthly.on top of that, the last thing the states and feds wont pay is their water, power, and sewage bills, hence why its a good steady flow of income.Also, it gives you three sources of solid residual income.

@Brian Woods Ok thanks I got it.

That's wood.

Hey @Nicole Wood welcome to BiggerPockets!

I am just starting a flip in your neck of the woods if you would like to stop by.

At this point you should have forced the value up significantly and have leverage when talking with banks to get a solid loan to value.Good luck. 

(just keeping it real).Is the company solid and not just showing "fluff"?

It would  be  solid  for  a  first deal to offset cost.

Residue from both the wood smoke and cigarette smoke will get into the nooks and crannies of the stone, and is impossible to get rid of.

JonicaIf you are willing to part with 30k to learn real estate investing, I would take that money and use it as down payments on 2 solid Texas properties near you.
