For a long time I have rented it as a section 8 property.

@Jay Jones  what state is the property in?

I am looking at some Repository list properties, due to these being on this list it is to my knowledge since they are from judicial sale they will be provided with a free and clear title.I am noticing 2 things on some PINs either the pin is for a "improvement only" (trailer, garage etc) or the name on the repo list does not match the most recent on the GIS pin.With these situations does that mean if its improvement only you would only own the trailer for example and not be able to do anything with it as the land is still theirs? 

Capital ExpendituresNo Property management because I manage my own.

If it was on the MLS or is in disrepair and no one else is bidding on the property (say an off market motivated seller) then yes sometimes.

I am planning on purchasing another property in the next few years!  

You may want to buy some properties that don't need a whole lot of work done.

STR Property management is common and I know a lot of folks doing this.  

I am finally taking the leap and ready to start my landlord journey but need help and tips into how to buy my first rental property 

Thus paying less total interest on both properties.
