A few road bumps were overcome, but my next goal is to build a new build!

Things like accessibility, entertainment, lifestyle, surrounding road/property conditions make the southern part of the island low on my list.

You might be better off purchasing multiple properties with the proceeds and give your self a greater potential for multiple streams of cash. later down the road you can do another 1031.  

So, unless you are an SEO manager, I think that's a tough road to go down. 1:1 link exchanges go against Google's guidelines and best practices so I wouldn't advocate for that. https://developers.google.com/search/docs/essentials/spam-policiesMost one-size-fits-all all SEO companies are going to want to spend a lot of your management fee doing work that real estate investor-focused SEO companies don't need to do. 

How far is the developement from the metroplex, and what is road access between the two like? 

.- As everyone said, get a lawyer ASAP for a civil and possibly criminal trial.

I found the road Los Elbanos Blvd, but I'm not sure if that's referring to the neighborhood or just the road: And I would assume anything close to the port is going to benefit from the job growth due to the LPG facility. 

Currently on the road to getting my real estate license but any advice/ recommendations along the way will always be appreciated.

Done right and you live with little to no out of pocket expenses possibly even make a.few bucks, you realize some equity and leverage the equity down the road for your next investment.  

Since you'd be looking to hold this property long term, look at what the property's cash flow and appreciation would potentially be 5-10 years down the road to help inform your decision.All that being said, if you feel confident that you can cover the maintenance, capex, vacancy loss, turn expenses, and leasing costs for a few years while you wait for the cash flow to improve, and you have enough risk tolerance to handle a potentially difficult tenant in the first few months which could lead to zero rent coming in during that transition to getting a new tenant in place, then it sounds like a solid deal to get into with $0 down.Lastly, I'll also caveat all of my statements above by mentioning that this all requires you to self-manage the property.
