But it sounds like we'll have to swallow our pride and take your advice and contact a few real estate agencies.

These agencies began calling me non-stop, demanding I fix the heater immediately and provide the tenant with hotel accommodations during the repair period—or else I’d be issued tickets and face daily fines.I won’t go into detail about how I feel, but anyone in my situation would feel like they just swallowed a bitter pill.

I set up loans, and with this amount of months, you could be "swallowed up" by the interest and not make much money- or worse yet run out of money.

2.) looking for advice on how to deploy 600+ thousand dollars into real estate and start receiving the cash flow from it without having to pull the 401(k) out and swallow the tax ramifications.I currently own 13 units and receive healthy cash flow from all of them, but I am looking to increase my cash flow so I can ease into the next phase of my life which includes work of a different kind but not doesn’t having a 9 to 5 job.Thanks in advance!

However, it does mean forfeiting the deposits which is tough to swallow. 

South Carolina's 6% Non-Occupancy TaxYes, the 6% property tax rate for non-owner-occupied properties in SC is real, and it can feel like a tough pill to swallow.

It may be a tough rate for you to swallow, but it may be worth it to secure the properties then refinance in a few years.

So much of the land was just taken by the river anyway -- it just re-routed itself and swallowed up most of the land on the riverside of the road.I do have one more favor to ask -- if anyone has leads on an accountant that can jump in to help us file last year's taxes by late November, I would be grateful to hear -- I still need to get them done, and especially need them done in order to apply for the SBA loan by the December 2 deadline.

Im sure the cost is a hard pill to swallow but try and keep your eye on the long term prize of making $ on a thriving STR biz.

So, 400k - 500k sounds like lots of money but if you wanna operate in the 300k+ entry point it get can swallowed up quick.One strategy I'd try is to be a buyer at the auctions, win a bid on a good house, close on it in cash (you should be a great deal under market value) and then get into a delayed purchase bridge loan product which will cash you out a certain percentage of the purchase and supply the rehab funds.
