There is a lot of information to digest when first getting started, but I'd suggest that you focus on a single strategy and go from there.

I work about 13 hours a day sun up to sun down at the moment, which is also why I developed a vision to retire through realesstate investing coming from a financially illiterate background I made it my goal to become financially literate and have been working on it for some years now reading listening to podcasts, checking this forum daily , takingnotes, ,digesting all that I can, I also made it my goal to teach financial literacy to children starting with my family members..

This creates some digestion issues.

I've been listening to BP podcasts, going to local meet-ups, rapidly digesting books, building relationships, researching markets and seeing properties.

@Ryan Copeland tons of info to digest here, I think one way people are looking at it is using FHA low down payment loan options with rates at an all-time low buying the MF property and then living in one of the units and renting out the other(s) and covering their mortgage, basically living payment free. 

@Dave Spooner I have not sold it, but an identical replica of the house ( this is a tract home) sold last month for 535K in worse conditions. 

I'm in the data compilation portion of my hunt, and the data I am looking for will result in thousands of items being harvested for digesting and manipulation; my needs require "big data" to be involved and I was really looking for sources like listsource that was suggested by Zachary.

Smaller tracts and thus lower total price increases your buyer pool. 

As digital records are being compiled by our government with Corelogic, Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®) members, and others all the tract houses in America have information available.
