. # of exit strategies is proportional to safety for investing and a financially successful life.

I guess in hindsight it sounds crazier to bank of putting this money away until you are about 60 and not really know if you will make it to that age or life circumstances. 

It was scary and stressful but in the end it has been a life changing experience. 

If you have life insurance, (not term but whole or universal) maybe you can borrow from those polices.   

Additionally, I can sort of "move on" in my life, and decide where to live long-term, while still building equity.Does this sound like a solid deal? 

I recommend to my clients a personal guaranty if it is an entity-borrower or business purpose affidavit if a human-borrower.

Hi Apurva,53 units -- It would be smart to talk to an Architect who does multi-family (In your general area) about the cost of doing a restyle as well as colors.Especially if you choose a Hardie (Fiber Cement type) product.With Hardie (Type) products, read the upkeep instructions, some require re-applying the joint sealers (factor that into your maintenance budget).Also with Hardie (Type) products there is a service life to the color...some come pre-colored, some your contractors must paint on site, (some require priming of cuts when installed)---talk to the Architect about the maintenance schedule and the CAPEX for this.Hardie makes big sheets of this for multi-family that Architects can use for visual effect and ease of installation.With 53 units--springing for an Architect to help with this would be intelligent.Good Luck!

This is temporary and it is per-diem life (no rent or car payments) and the job will be finishing up in February to April.

@Ronald Cooperman with that many units, your life will change DRAMATICALLY if you get off Excel and onto a proper management software suite.
