Just make sure to leave some breathing space for reserves and future down payments. 

@Juline Rensch just my thoughts without digging too deep in addition to what the others have said.

Dennis:I just was not going deep enough to first figure out what would make sense for me and the market.

Though I met a lot of awesome people there, the job was polluted with favoritism and overall showed me I rather pursue my own passion which is living, eating, breathing the research and study of economics, market analysis, calculating the cash flows for various potential investment opportunities and generally being my own business man excites me like no other career path could."

Also if any space goes vacant then you can contest property taxes based on vacancy and get a deep reduction until space is filled. 

You're going to have to really dig deep to find properties that can net that much with only 25k as a down payment.I'm not saying it can't be done.

But I also made sure it’s a 9” deep sink, as I hate the shallow sinks.

Truly, moving might not be in the cards due to deep seeded family ties for my wife in the area.

Dude, you are in some deep do-do.

always good to get into the house for a deep check on condition and I suspect that allowed you to do that. although my style would have been go to home depot and get a few day labor's  and monitor them..
