If you don't mind me asking, who's running your numbers/proformas for you? 

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

I recognize there are other ways I could invest this cash (including another property) but I am being mindful of levering myself out too much in the current environment where job losses are more common in my industry (tech).

Do you mind sharing your experience with BAM Capital.

The only other option I see is a short sale, if you don't need to purchase for a few years and don't mind a temporary credit hit to save the $60k.  

The insurance payouts over last years, it's just a mind boggling amount.

It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors.

Btw, would you mind sharing your analysis spreadsheet for your new construction?

Keeping insurance and ownership in mind, what is the correct day to start the lease?

They offer a demo too, so you can see if it is exactly what you are looking for:)Just a small note to keep in mind as you are starting out, making connections and looking for deals, keep in mind how you are presenting yourself.
