How ever, when I was younger I invested in bitcoin(more like gambled).

Never gamble on appreciation.

Is it a really nice area of Temecula or Corona, which will almost certainly still be really nice in 20 years, or do you want to make more of a gamble and go for a place that seems like a bit beat up now but on upward trajectory?  

Currently, my profession is in the medical field as I am a medical assistant for a well known Sports Medicine Clinic.

If you have to cycle thru a few tenants, it's going to be rough.The area is not good where you're looking, but for a decent house and a decent tenant, it's probably worth the gamble.  

@Ben Leybovich , it certainly could be, but that is always the gamble isn't it? 

Its not a family destination and people are not flooding there anymore because of all of the surrounding states allowing gambling.

I'm not here to gamble on hypothetical numbers or what the future may hold.

Had it just been the one property then I was going the F/F route because of %rates and the fact that I only have 2 outstanding mortgages.Low and behold, fate now throws a curve ball (not sure why I felt the need to do a sports metaphor), and now I'm having to learn about creative financing, legally of course.And @Michael Worleythis is yet another piece to this puzzle.
