Doing the rehab myself was alot of time and energy.

I personally wouldn't push it, since the broken exterior pane should comprise the water tight-ness of the window and the energy inefficiency affect will be the tenants to enjoy . . . safe and sound from that pesky virus!

Been burned once and never again.Not having a deposit is a major liability. 

Your money's obviously burning a hole in your pocket, but asking strangers on the Internet what to do with it might not be the wisest option.

Best,Vijay Hey - I currently spend a lot of my time and energy investing in Indianapolis.

My friends house burned down and insurance has deemed it not repairable.

Auctions can be a wonderful way to invest, but you can also get burned quite badly if you're not careful. 

Having the degree won't hurt, but it is also pretty expensive in time, energy, and money. 

If you go full time into investing/syndication, you have to consider that it's possible that it might take you a year or two or ten, before you start making enough money to live off.You might want to look into a job withing the real estate world that will help you get closer to your goals by accelerating the learning curve (i.e. broker, contractor, etc.)Whatever the case, keep the passion burning, and never stop learning.Maybe some of those wiser than me can shed some additional light.
