In order to go from 2 units to 12 you'll likely need a fair amount of leverage, which may take you out of your comfort zone, carrying the student debt plus hundreds of thousands more in mortgages.I think the plan you've laid out sounds solid, picking up another property and paying down debt.

A brand new house, all new systems cash flowing $200 per month might not be bad, while a hundred year old house cash flowing $500 per month might be a money pit. 

Maybe a few hundred dollars, give or take.

I assume the average citizen at some point got tired of hundreds of signs left out 24/7 by zombie wholesalers and complained to their county representatives about it.
