Maybe start with broad information and work towards learning about more specific topics, so that you familiarize yourself with the lingo and concepts.

I am investing in the broad Indianapolis area. including Muncy, Evansville, Connersville and other Indianapolis satellite cities.

BP is a little too broad I think for the niche I'm trying to research.

Can you recommend someone in Tampa that is more broad in their experience then a traditional lender.

@Bruce Woodruff, usually you seem to know what you're talking about but in this case you really need to realize that you don't understand the issue well enough to even understand what I'm talking about.You have come to a broad conclusion with SOME understanding of why but no ability to discuss and critically think about the issues involved.

Getting this right will really unlock value, so I'm consulting as broadly as I can.

Read books, watch youtube, listen to podcasts, attend open houses, comb through zillow to learn about your local market.Successful RE investing depends on you knowing more than the broad market and being able to find market inefficiencies.

You must sell real estate and buy real estate, so the like-kind definition is very broad. 

However, due to short seasons, and more mild winters, I'm struggling to think even 3-4 years from now that I'd pull anything more than $50K a year in rentals.Bills / property taxes are about $12,000 a year.The thing is, being single, and not really dying to work in this area (small town), I'm feeling rather stuck, as is all the equity.I'm currently not working, but very much want to move back to Chicago, a place I love, and start buying cash flowing properties.I'd suspect I would have about $900,000+ after all is done if it sold at $950K, considering the vast array of other things I've accumulated (wood splitters, machinery, tools, MCM furniture, rugs,).

Some helpful info on knowing how DSCR rates and guidelines broadly work: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.
