This is supplemented by one and only real estate investment, a vacation rental condo I bought for cash 2.5 years ago at the bottom of the market.

We got a 1-year home warranty on the deal.

I generally avoid quit claim deeds, but even warranty deeds scare me.

Also see what kinds of deeds were given on the house's previous transactions as a special warranty deed can make you fail to see things such as unpaid back taxes on the house (which is a definite risk on a $25k deal).  

I am new to real estate investing, my only real estate experience is that I bought my first house about a year ago and I currently rent out some of the rooms to make some supplemental income.

We were obligated to purchase a one-year Home Warranty, but never got around to it.

Inexpensive rental, so it's $.59/ft @ Home Depot w/ 15yr warranty. $.2x underlayment.

If there is anything outside of my expertise or someone else can offer a warranty, I hire out.

My goals in real estate is for it to supplement if not replace my current income.
