I really like reading across all BP, not just browsing specific forums.

files per page, and 13 pages that I apparently must browse through in order to find anything I'm looking for. 

Seems like the next step for me is to browse the Gainesville market some to get a better feel for the market (costs vs. rents) and then if I find there are options that may generate more profit then I can evaluate my options further.

If you can spend some time browsing MLS to get a feel for product types and pricing, make sure to do separate searches in Residential and Commercial, since smaller multi-residential ends up on both sides of the fence.

The OP could benefit from browsing there.  

Been browsing the site for what seems like ages and finally making a post.

Start to browse rentals to see what rents are for your target areas.

All I had about $40K to my name and spent a good deal of time looking at properties, reading blogs, browsing Bigger Pockets, attending seminars.

Your area should have an MLS website that you can access and browse for free, without contacting an agent.

I was browsing Zillow and I found what looks to be a great investment property for the area, from what I can tell about 50k below market and needs some updating, but in the description it talks about the pool needing repair.
