Not really sure what a good deal looks like but looks like there are some low hanging fruit with this property.

I have around 10 years left in military before I intend to hang up the hat, so our goal is to replace my income before I retire (but hopefully we can do a lot more than that.)I look forward to being more active on here, and hopefully meeting some fellow investors near Fayetteville! 

I’m looking for a commercial brokerage to hang my license with.

@Peter Stewart Why not do an incremental rent increase (3 to 5%) now and every 12 months to try and hang onto current tenant until you sell and do the 1031?

Mine did too at first, but reality set in after a few months of washing dishes in the laundry sink, and having plastic hanging in the shower, her enthusiasm waned.I'm not suggesting you don't do it, just pointing out that the idea of it and the reality of it are not necessarily the same. 

I would recommend starting with a few assignments to get the hang of putting deals together with sellers and filing them with good tenant/buyers, and to build up a cash reserve before staying in the middle with a sandwich.

The seller (bank) informed us we were the 2nd highest offer and to "hang on" just in case the first offer didn't go through.

But I now have the following things that I cannot even put a monetary value as a result of doing it:A good and reliable contractor who is ready to help me grow my business and work on future projects.An electrician, who I met AS A RESULT of the my contractor.A great handyman and gardener, who I met, AS A RESULT of my tenants.A fairly thorough working knowledge of how to replace a roof, run plumbing, electrical, hang drywall, lay tile, and the overall costs associated with the replacement and repair of all these things.

We just paid a guy $1000 to hang drywall, float and tape a 1,500 SF ceiling. 

This is a psychological issue, not an REI one - you'll have this same hang up regardless of what route you go, everyone does in the beginning.
