I'm also a Veteran, so keep that in mind for later.About the property: It is a Class C Mixed Use building in the heart of downtown La Crosse, WI, which gets excellent vehicle/foot traffic.

Find a local REIA,  post on craigslist,  use your Facebook to bring traffic,  use the forums on Biggerpockets Good  luck  

There are many issues: pollution from Tiajuana river closes the beach many times a year, class of area, lack of infrastructure spending, perception/reputation, traffic, etc.   

If it is in a high traffic area maybe you can rent it out to someone to post a Food Truck or something temporary like that.

I have been using personal budget app Mint to keep track of my money traffic and I have been thinking about paying a small monthly subscription fee for better app. 

You will get off market traffic.

Any insight is greatly appreciated as I could not find any updates searching the web.

But was hoping someone more knowledgeable could confirm what I think is true or not before I attempt to file taxes by tomorrow.The web gives 3 tax bracket examples of 15%, 25% and 28%. 

I'm also on a REI web site, so I've self selected like everyone else here to enjoy REI.

I haven't spoke with the bank but according to the calculator on the FHA web page I would be approved for around 325k before I bought the SFH.
