One thing to consider is if something goes south with your job quick, how long until you have to be out of the employer house?

You need to consider how long that period is compared to how long it would take you to get the renters out of your house. What if they are 2 months into a year long lease? Can you afford to rent something for your family long enough without your job?

Have you considered I-Bonds? The rate on them is linked to rate of inflation. Currently they are currently paying just under 7%. Rates are variable and are revised every six months. You can redeem the bond after 12 months. They're probably one of the best rates of return you're going to find for the time being. You could always park your money in one of these while the rates are good and move it later when/if things change.

After dealing with car insurance there's usually up to 3 offers the insurance company can give. I used to deal with them for my clients as well as my own accidents. I went from 80% at fault to 20% for me t-boning a woman that ran a stop sign.

Good for you. 🤷‍♂️ No police report I’ve had from an accident stated who is at fault. No one said it did either. It states what happened and if someone was cited for something. The insurance company uses it along with photos and damage assessment to determine fault. They ask for a police report every time you make a claim.
