@Kevin Collins you are asking for advice and I am taking time out of my day to actually give you a different view point in an attempt to help and assist you but you are upset it doesn't quite conform and confirm your thoughts in the way you expected. 

To give you something as a reference based on your budget (30-40% down with $1.8M), the general cap rates you will see in the Bay Area are roughly 3-5% https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1047-Rich-Ave-Mountain-View-...https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1180-Saranap-Ave-Walnut-Cree...You will find higher cap rates and more 20+ units buildings in SF, Oakland, and Richmond, but keep in mind of their stringent tenant laws. 

I do have alerts on all the platforms though.

The bad is long gone in the rear view mirror so now, that motivation of making the bad go away, has gone away. 

I have been thinking small office or retail (which I have experience in); larger multi family (10-20 unit), RV Storage, and have even thought about beach front hotel, or at least ocean view hotel.

Since I bought the duplex, I have noticed that ReadyREI tries to limit property viewing as much as possible, and I believe that the reason for this is clear - it is to hide issues and the condition of the property as much as possible.When I first spoke with Ready REI, I was told that they provide a “turnkey” house, that nothing needed to be done to get it ready for occupancy.

Great view and breeze on the hill.  

Vitaliy  Vitality, this has been the best reply I have received on this platform yet.

What I view view as a blunder, other may not.

Platforms like Furnished Finder can help you find the right renters too!
