I have had more than a few hateful tenants but in every case they were all socially challenged to begin with.

Take a look around BP for the "90 day challenge" - plus I would bet on a number of upcoming resources and webinars designed to help people with buying their first property by the end of the year.If you've already done all that and are still struggling with which direction to go, the bottom line is that it doesn't matter.

“What’s the biggest challenge you face?

Typically for government backed loans it's more challenging to get a "very low offer" approved as they are less flexible for their NET and they use more qualified people to complete valuations.

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors, realtors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsLooks like you've already made some connections with other BP members there in JAX...You can also search for other investors or brokers in your market and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersBest of luck to you and look forward to following your success on BP!

Your biggest challenge beyond correct comps is time.
