Both my sister and myself were named by the will as co-executors of the estate and we made choices together as to how to proceed with the properties while this was going on, as in we consulted on repairs etc, money to maintain the property also came from the estate.In my case I wanted to invest in other property and my sister wanted the property my mother owned, so she bought out my half of the properties I inherited with her, and I am no longer part of that.

The landlord next door owns multiple properties around town and they are all well maintained as necessary.

We don't expect to draw Social Security, we don't have a retirement plan through work, no IRA, no 401k, no stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

Dump RE , get my series 7, become a stock broker, financial advisor and possibly hedge with real estate ?

All my stock is in my IRA's and 401k so I have never had to pay a capitol gains tax at all.So basically all income form either the building process and the sale will be earned income taxable.

I started on the stock market path a few years back, but haven’t really jumped in before seeing better returns in real estate.

Spend time with him looking at all the properties, talking about tenants and leases, and really understanding how he's built and maintained his business.

Is there a standard/favorite app/spreadsheet/site that compares investing your cash into rental property vs. stock market at an assumed rate of return?

Control, that is exactly my concernWho maintains the dock?

I have one of those nice properties with a slum lord maintained house next door.
