I’m starting to feel a little confident about moving forward.

. :-) I don’t have a coaching program I’m selling either.A little over a year ago, I started a thread about who was investing in their health.  

You have started your journey in the right place.

From there you can start to identify what you are looking for.Where do you land on the follow spectrums:Cash flow and AppreciationLong term or Short term needs (waiting for growth vs get out of my W2 now)Long term rentals, Mid term rentals, Short term rentalsBuying close to home or coast to coastSelf manage or hire a PMIf you can narrow in on those, you essentially have your buy box. 

But about 1 year after we bought the property, they started cracking down on the homeless in downtown Jacksonville moving the crime to the neighborhoods just outside of Jacksonville.

The property was occupied (still is) with 1 tenant that I am now having the exhausting pleasure of evicting. 2yrs later, said tenant continues to try every angle to delay the court granted Marshall’s execution.The “2nd” floor was poorly renovated (bad contractors), new tenant moved in and a year later, another eviction process has started as they lost their job and refuse to move or pay.Stuck with a very large mortgage bill (that I am paying), utilities and making small repairs to keep the property up also noting the casual 311 complaints from both tenants. 

Started the process on 1 house in Cape Coral Nov. of 2021. 

@Juliann Morala if you're going to rent it out, start with a PMC! 

More of a general trend, when we started we asked the same question. how low can I get it?

Also CA requires you to be licensed to originate DSCR and Hard Money Loans (I see on your bio you service CA), and there are many other states that are starting to follow pursuit.
