If you apply the cash flow to pay off your mortgage you not only are accomplishing your goal of living in a clear and free home, at the same time you are paying off an income-producing property its a win-win.

It also specifies what actions a landlord must take to use the funds from the security deposit. 

I have a feeling she will try to find problems with the house the longer she stays as we are doing some construction and as mentioned it's an old house in the meantime to seek legal action as she did with her former landlord over code violations she finds or creates while living in the house. 

We envision getting the reward, and how we’ll feel when we do, and that propels us into action.

The seller insist that he will sue me and get with an attorney and will proceed with his actions on his end.

The market does not produce cash flow, it does not have extremely cheap leverage, and it does not have enormous tax advantages.

Maybe it will help with my accountability and hopefully start taking some action soon!

Thank you all so much for your advice, and I look forward to taking action and using it all.Best luck to all!
