@Bill F. at the end of they day, setting your goal is setting your goal. 

Or incompetent.Or, as is often the case, relocated and someone living in the subject property but not paying the taxes (or rent) while fat, dumb and happy.Your most valuable skill will be skip tracing; finding people who have a record ownership interest.

I sold my 3 least fave houses into the froth and moved to odd, unfinanceable assets and repurposing type projects for something more interesting with little other buyer interest.As a developer, maybe look into land or retail/industrial that can have a variance or re-zone or repurpose.

Today, I use both the traditional spreadsheet method paralleled with Personal Captial.These are the three things I try to track on regular basis in my life. 1) Networth 2) Life Goals : Business, Family, Personal etc.3) Weight / Fat % content 

I am not an experienced investor at all, in fat I own zero properties, but I do happen to know a little bit about finances which may be able to help your current situation.

Just in case, get a fat insurance policy and sleep well. :)

My personal fave is the BWI Meetup which a lot of BPers attend but there are many all over the DMV area.
