These are the first things I look at.Lastly if someone is advertising on BP, it’s not a bad or good thing - all it means when someone advertises on BP or pays BP to be promoted it just means they paid to be on the website.

My story isn't even that bad compared to another CA   investor who bought 2 apartment buildings in the Midwest Class C and was told property values would go up with gentrification.

Even then there’s going to be your customary “bad boy carveouts”.

In same token I am one who calls out bad advice if it’s my opinion and recommend you do the same.

Bad tenants are a part of the business and a cost.

I thought Florida was bad.  

You really run the risk of bad construction biting you.

This might be a rookie mindset is it bad I don't care for cash-flow at the moment in my eyes if someone helping me pay down my mortgage and build equity I'm okay with that.

That isn't a bad price for the Helix.

It might not cashflow well as a rental/because it's a single family but if you can make it break even for the time being with a tenant, not a bad option as well.
