@Bryan HartlenManaging low-end properties can be demanding due to higher tenant turnover, increased maintenance needs, and frequent rent collection issues.

Quote from @Jim Stanley: You should reserve insurance for large claims.Contact the city and report the issue to them.

The buyers did a long inspection, multiple days... made a huge request for concessions based on what we knew to be purely made-up issues.

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

But as it relates to buying and owning RE nothing has changed..

There are a lot of site-specific issues you need to investigate before deciding what the land is worth to you.
