@Thomas S.: It seems like a good option however I don't have experience in buying properties out of state ( I am ruling this out for now).

I mean 9-5's are great, but I'm realizing I'm not a 9-5 person; I'd rather be a 24/7 person if that means my family and their future is more financially secured. 

@Thomas S. - Helpful and agree.

There can be a ton of paperwork, and some banks can get caught up in bureaucracy, but environmental inspections, appraisals, any other "Phase 1's," etc. are all standard.1 - I'd say 60-90 days is a generous closing period for a property & buyer both with good records and have their ducks in a row.2 - Of course. 

s #1.

You still may have some great tenants, but it's really going to depend on the quality of the property and size of units. 2/1's with 800 to 1,000 sq ft is pretty standard fare.

But it s done as a 30 year term payment at todays investor rehab rates , say 5.50%  with no pre payment penalty and based on ARV.

I think generic #s sometimes cause fear and prevent people from take that leap toward success.

It doesn’t look super elevated for being out in the Alachua area.
