Still, if I were able to provide a much better return on their money, everything else goes out the window.One of my main concerns is the impact it has on my ability to purchase subsequent rental properties in the future.

I watched a kid we know buy a home for $10k @ a tax lien auction, he subsequently spent about $3k on closing & rehab.

That said, I wish you and all subsequent users of that property the best.

That can be a big advantage when you're buying, because sellers might not have their guard up as high as they might with a man and it might be easier to find out what their motivation is and subsequently might make it easier to negotiate.If you're your own contractor, subs might underestimate you, which can be negative.

You don't want the kooky sellers to get upset about something and ruin the subsequent transactions.

I literally have hours of conversation with investors (who I then subsequently help with their first 1-3 rental properties) on how  BP investors are helpful, but just completely overlook some new investors definitely need more help and mentorship and just waiting for that one lucky person to mentor you in the detail that you want is a long wait.But it's Thursday and I have energetic  toddler, so we can agree to completely disagree (I cant be here all day debating). and everyone can read our comments and determine the best advice to take that works for them.

So what is similar to your story is that we both would end our primary careers at a fairly young age (I’m not a sports guy but I’m guessing retirement age tends to arrive before grey hair) and could subsequently have long and successful investment careers. 

Once the divorce was final the other spouse stop paying the bills subsequently causing my tenant score to drop.

Once I get a qualified applications then I will refund subsequent "back-up" applications. 

Here are my notes from my travels and subsequent research:Most common areas to travel to/invest in: Ambergris Caye/San Pedro/Isla Bonita (by far the most popular and most developed tourist area, made famous by Madonna with her 1987 hit "La Isla Bonita"), Caye Caulker, Placencia, Corozal, Cayo District Areas to avoid: Belize City (the only actual "city" in Belize, it was mostly destroyed by a hurricane in 1961 and never really got rebuilt despite still being the main population center.
