Once the property is under contract I have it inspected to determine the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances.

IT IS NOT AT THIS CURRENT SOCIAL CONDITION.

Thanks to certain life circumstances I have had to put real estate aside for almost a year and I am hesitant about trying to pursue it again.

But, things change and life surprises us.Ask the seller if they will do Seller Financing or a Land Contract or a Wrap (and have a title report and have an attorney put the paperwork together for you.)

Were in different phases of life as well.

Fed rate will probably be hiked up by another 1.25% by then assuming current market conditions continue. 

Numbers on a calculator can only give you a snapshot, it's not always reflective of real life.  

I have to say, being a landlord has changed my life and how I look at others.

Hang on tight you are likely in for the ride of your life.

Maybe if you also can access to Lexis Nexis which is what I use in my 9-5 life.
