I have two units in two different buildings.

I will be following St Johns County 

Risks;  zoning / code enforcement for running a rooming house, more then the county limits on un-related adults in a rental. 

Reminds me of a saying my friend always says when a deal fall through, "It's just a house, they build em everyday."

I would focus on consistent, steady income and building an amazing credit history.

@Daniel Stoychev for me personally I’m open to investing most anywhere if the deal is right by the choice between Cook County or not Cook county I will always go with not Cook County. 

Check those two lists against all of the lists and articles you have been reading to see where the closest crossover is.That is how you find a competitive advantage.If you build an out-of-state funnel with everyone you just met, you will not have a competitive advantage.Number 1 above gives you a personal, geographic advantage.

It’s a 3000 sf 5 bed 3.5 bath new build (2022) with really nice finishes. 

If there are a lot of S8 buildings in an area, it'll never be nice. 

I would also recommend building relationships with investors and RE Agents.
