I'm thinking about putting the money somewhere 'safe'(maybe something like us treasury money market fund) that would give me enough returns to match inflation, so that i could then invest that when there is a downturn/correction/recession, without losing any of my buying power.

@marc winter- Thanks for the reply.

So if you can position your assets into a single family with minimal debt you'll be correction resistant. 

This strategy is all over the Internet and allows you to pay your home off in 5-7 years if done correctly.

Feel free to DM me or reply to post here.

ACTUAL bank statements  LOL.. that's what you need.. and that's why they use me.. we are for real and know what we are doing and what we need to do to support those who want to do what you want to do... you either have not explained it correctly to those potential money partners or they are nervous nellies and probably wont close anyway.

Will we have another correction sometime?

Closing with a known issue would likely bar a title insurance claim once the issue surfaced and regardless, this is a title problem that as a buyer you definitely want resolved.There are a few ways to resolve this including a corrective or confirmatory or other deed but they all will require full disclosure to the title company/insurer and some corrective action or affirmative coverage for the issue.

Thanks again to those that replied.

Congratulations on starting the investment road correctly !
