We looked at a very nice 4br 2 1/2 bath in my neighborhood listed at 420k.

Nice of your to help step in and get your family affairs in order.

Get in a nice rhythm and increase the 90k to 150k and stay in a nice 3x per year rhythm and in the meantime look for those 2 - 4 unit houses to BRRRR. 

Nice to discover tenants who are neat, and you don’t have to experience a few months of vacancy right after you close. 

Provide a nice place to live, where you show pride of ownership and they will typically respond with taking care of your place.But also, being selective in who you rent to.  

And it's awesome that you have such diverse interests outside of real estate—singing professionally and playing basketball must keep you quite busy and balanced!

@William Silva Miami is a fun/diverse city but expensive for starting out.

Doing quite nicely and we are growing really fast here!

Let's say next Spring if you hydro mulch and water and fertilize like crazy you can have a nice yard full of grass in the back next summer.I have seen some builders about this time of year use some kind of roll out mats to keep the dirt covered until the house is ready or Spring for sod. 

The bottom line is making sure your scope of work to the property does force enough appreciation so you have a nice profit margin.
