I have a white pages subscription where I plan to obtain the remaining phone numbers right after I finish this post.

Kfir,I'm a newbie but as far as I can tell, the best way is to make a grid of all the capex expenses for that particular property, track down how much remaining life is on each of them, and divide the cost for each buy its remaining life; then you'll see how much you should set aside each month when you add them all up. 

So if you plan to remain there in real estate investing arena, I’d recommend renting your current space out, probably with a property management company to start with.

She has slowly gifted us the remaining value to avoid gift tax in case any alarms were going off for anyone! 

So even if I lose the ability to generate income from the cash value that is securing the loans to pay the taxes, the remaining cash value will still generate more retirement income.

I ended up investing out of state but remained here.

Would you advise me spending the remaining $2,500 on better letters/list or on SEO/SEM?

The existing/recorded title deed will remain unchanged.
