If you are ok living with roommates another option is house hacking where you buy a property as a primary and rent out the rest of the property then move out after 12 months to acquire your next one.

The inspector pointed out structural issues, potential plumbing issues (hard to confirm since the water was not on but scary enough) since the house was built in the early 1900's.  

I was excited when i first saw the properties and have been waiting in the wings ever since hoping it wouldn’t go through as I can’t find anything else quite like it and the aim is I will be living in 1 and house hacking.

Property needs some fixing, but I think has potential (especially in our highly inflated housing market).

Many will be well educated on their housing options guided by their brands, teams and universities, and are well capitalized and qualified on a short term 3-6-12 month basis, and I actually had a client purchase a newer townhome in Tallahassee for lease to a football player at FSU..Keep in mind the top earning NIL athletes stretch across multiple men's and woman's sports. 

Things like assisted living, sober living, student housing etc.

I've got a $1M in equity in my current home that I also plan to free up if I have success with the previous set of capital. 

Simon, Here in FL its much easier for us because we know a few things:1) The U.S. is severely under supplied in housing units. 2) Tons of people are moving to Florida everyday which makes point #1 even more drastic for us. 3) Interest rates are preventing people from selling their homes, because then they would need to re-trade for a higher interest rate buying a new home, which is creating even more housing demand.So with this knowledge, now we move to more market specific data, which is what I talk about in the original post.If a market shows decent growth and demand, then it all boils down to the numbers.Its important not to forget about any costs though.

He placed a tenant into my first property starting July 1 and the PM told me he was going to set me up in his new portal.

You buy a house near your New Jersey job, and you plan to move to Florida a year later, once you get your 401k vested and can retire.
