Lastly, as motivation, gary vaynerchuck said that even at the age of thirty you still have your entire life ahead of you, so don’t overthink your current situation you’ll be just fine.

I find it hard to believe a property in Gary has 47k in taxes.

Haha yes, Gary (I didn’t tag him, moderators!)

Thanks and keep us updated on your progress.....Gary

My name is Gary Mastropolo, I have 15 years until I retire and I am looking to replace my current income with BUY&HOLD  properties.I love to learn.

If you dig into Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor the model he teaches there would be the "slow and steady" one and the long-term affects of it are astonishing. 

Regardless, I think "The book on rental property investing" by Brandon Turner and "The millionaire real estate investor" by Gary Keller are great first books.

Long story semi-short: the other daughters granted, lets call her "Paris" which is a daughter of his, they granted her full permission to own the house but she was never officially put on the deed it was a verbal agreement saying "yea Paris you can take control of the property" So eventually after sitting for so long  the house was deteriorated and was agreed to be demolished by Gary (who is Paris's nephew) for 28k around 2008.
