So far it's been working great...covers my monthly nut so basically living for free.Right now I have about $360k left at 4.3%I have about $170k in cashWas thinking to use some of the cash to either invest or perhaps pay down some of the mortgageBut...this sweet house for $650k came on the market - it also has a main living area and a carport that can be rented out for $1500/mo or so.So I'm thinking if I deploy 20% into that I can live in the 2nd house and the cashflow from the other house + side rental should cover it all.Do you think this is a good idea or given how hot the market it is would it be safer to just pay down the first mortgage first?

A guy named Paul Moller was planning to build - in essence - a flying car. 

You might start off by managing your first rental property and then hire a good management company with a minimum of 30 units so you can afford one and will takeover the daily involvement to take care of those emergency calls and new tenant screening.If you have or can get YouTube, watch a man named Grant Cardone who has many videos on there and believes in buying apartments. 

@Daniel Pitner For those counties only names of the decedent, executor and attorney are available for probate leads, there isn't any contact info.

Any thoughts, names and contact info. of property management that you feel like are doing it well and adding value would be much appreciated for me to learn from as I gain insight - thanks for any help, much appreciated.Shane

Congratulations on being "ahead of the game" with a property already under your name and trying to build your portfolio and continue your father's legacy. 

@Jeff HsiehOh Sweet, if you're paying cash than no worries.

Sometimes they've noted the sale and new owners name, but not updated the records.
