All this can be done starting tomorrow using paid advertising and attending live events such as local real estate investing meetings.

I live in a 275k property in Charlotte, NC that is in my name and completely paid off.

Or if they are, your purchase & sale agreement should stipulate that any outstanding liens, taxes, fines or fees will be paid in full by the seller at closing.Be sure you're working with a full-time Realtor and you should be OK.Let me know if you have other questions.

So I tend to be really conservative and don't purchase another property until the last one I bought is paid off. 

Also any recommendations on what software, like small business (paid) TurboTax.

We paid an annual subscription that was the  same as any other subscriber. 

That's why I use paid listings, they are way better and you can speak with agents.

Once the remaining balance is paid off, they will own the property free and clear.

@Brad TarryYou can roll all or part of that old 401(k) to an IRA of your choosing, including a self-directed IRA that provides broader investment choices.IRA plans do not offer a participant loan feature as 401(k) plans do, however.If you are self-employed, you could potentially establish your own Solo 401(k) and then have access to the loan feature.If you will be joining another W-2 employer you could also potentially roll some of your current 401(k) into that plan such that you would have some capital from which to borrow.If you have an outstanding loan on your prior employer 401(k) that may need to be paid off promptly if you have terminated service. 

There are recurring fees and ongoing education that must be paid for and met so getting a license is no walk in the park.
