I definitely agree that it's so easy to fall in the trap of paralysis analysis and reading books and listening to podcasts.

This is all easier said than done, but if it we're easy, it wouldn't be rewarding. 

@Daria B. it sounds like you were the seller, you have the credit, and you did a 1031.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Additionally, it's easy for a house on one lease to get absolutely trashed by the renter.

I actually started my own blog to break down the latest market news in a way that’s easy to understand and actionable.I pull my information from a few solid sources, including:•Florida Realtors (floridarealtors.org) – Great for statewide updates, trends, and legislative changes.

It sounds like you are trying to buy a second property with less of a downpayment than 20 percent.

You are definitely going to want to get a lawyer and as soon as possible.This will sound harsh.In your story, you have made a number of very poor decisions about how you purchased and managed this property.

It sounds good in theory, but in practice is highly unlikely.
