I've outperformed the S&P 500 for five consecutive years, to include the COVID-19 induced downturn (the real test).

You'll have registration, fingerprint, testing fees as well, so budget $500 initially. 

Please note that the account into which the funds are deposited must be the same type of account from which the funds were first withdrawn (e.g. withdrawal of pre-tax funds from a 401k could be deposited in a pre-tax IRA but not a Roth IRA - "like to like").Loans:Payments on a 401k loan taken under the CARES Act must be paid back starting in 2021 over a 5 year term.Here are the details regarding the loans:NEW LOANS:The CARES Act which was enacted to provide relief to individuals impacted by COVID-19 allows for increased 401k loans and more flexibility for repayment of these loans.Specifically, you must be an individual who meets one of the following conditions to demonstrate that you have been impacted by the crisis (and it will be your responsibility to retain documents in your files that demonstrates that you are a qualified individual):Individual who is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test;Individual whose spouse or dependent is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test; ORIndividual who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, having work hours reduced, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to COVID-19, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to COVID-19; or other factors as determined by the Treasury Secretary.On or before September 23, 2020, such individuals take a 401k participant loan subject to the following terms:Maximum Amount of the Loan: 100% of their 401k balance not to exceed $100,000.

Just a civilian CFI, but I used to work as a defense contractor for some of the military brances in flight test, etc.

:My go-around ten years ago was unpleasant (two evicted tenants in a row, each took six months) so I've been working up the courage to jump back in. 2 horrible tenant experiences in a row early on would test anyone's sanity and why.When anyone finds out I do rentals they can't help but vomit a tenant horror story on me. 

Make certain you understand absolutely everything there is to know about the underlying loan you'll be taking over: interest rate (fixed vs. adjustable), monthly payment, account status, escrow account surplus/deficit, etc.As the buyer, you will need the POA docs in the future, so that's something you definitely want to control and bring to the table.If you don't have rock-solid, time-tested closing paperwork, go get some: You do not want to wing it on a sub2 deal!

We are basically split testing it at this point.

I took a one year sabbatical as a test run.

My friend wanted to test the market to see if they could sell the house on their own to avoid paying realtor fees.

Two weeks after that I had a gas leak in the basement that cost me $1500 to find and fix.Also, at one point the county health department came to the house to test for lead and I ended up having to replace about 18 windows in the house which cost me around $7K.
