@Nicholas Estevez10,000 foot view:Flipping is a job.Buy and hold is an investment.Flipping pays well due to risk, but the minute you don’t go find that next property at a discount there is no income.A buy and hold property will pay you whether or not you find that next deal.

Also, you'd want to be on sufficient financial footing to be able to carry out your investing. 

Commercial rents were going for about 10 per sq foot modified gross and have now dropped IF you can find a tenant.

This is a 2000+ square foot finished basement fully underground.

The reason they do this is that most sites like Zillow, Trulia, etc, have an option to sort listings by "$/square foot", and inflating the square footage makes their listings show up first when sorted that way.The county appraiser or assessor will have the tax records that show at least what the house was built with.
