After doing that, I wish I could say I had a clear-cut action plan.

Delinquent tax homes are like fixed costs that will cut into my profit.

The next step would be to further examine your spending habits and create more investable net income by cutting other expenses.

I'm super busy and can't do the management, so I have been debating between Evolve and a local management company (25% cut). 

Is the 26k before or after they take their cut?

Otherwise, just get a W-2 job or cut grass for a living.  

If you and I don't see eye to eye in 6 months I'm more than happy to cut the cord with no hard feelings.

I have focused on saving for my retirement through my 401k for my first few years of work after college. I managed to save up $100k to invest and have decided that I will no longer contribute more than my employer mat...

But I would say go back and offer half and maybe spread it out over a few months (although if she has had hours cut or is laid off, maybe she could use the credit all in one month)What would happen if you say NO?

There's no easier $10,000 made then cutting it from the price.
