@Mana Silva  I got into as a HML... and when the crap hit the fan in 09 I ended up with 20 or projects were the builder went under and I had to take them over and finish themit was at that time I realized I was the one taking the risk.. builder had a little cash in the deal but I had THE CASH in the deal... and it was a challenge at first since I did not know a thing about building just lending.got an education and decided well since I am taking the risk I mine as well set up a building company and make the profit as well when market rebounds. 

I'm really puzzled why you are considering these markets if your primary objective is appreciation combined with some cash flow.

She is complaining now that she lives in a crap apartment and a dangerous area.

The Johnny come latelys will just help clear out some of the crap and churn some properties for the seasoned investors.

That said, I have also ramped up my day job savings to combine with the cash flow and plow into new holdings.  

Usually the Spring market doesn't heat up until March/April but maybe the crazy low rates in January combined with the "summer" weather in February got people excited about buying.Your thoughts @Francis A. 

In other words, see what cashing out 50% from the rental and putting it into another property looks like to see what the individual and combined returns are.

Keeping in mind that there is probably private family history undisclosed, I would say: why don't you guys try to talk about it more, in a different setting and environment, in a different way, understand what are each other real problems and find a solution that would help both and creating value for the both and of you and keep being a family before going through all this legal "crap"?

Crap this is a lot of stuff, fun though!
