In my case it would have effectively been impossible to assert that the loss property was NOT QBI eligible, and yet the others are?

That does not mean you just simply pay less, it will have effect on your entire investment (longer commutes to check on things, lets buyers / renters, more days on market, lower rents, lower appreciation, etc).You will still need about 30-50k in cash to make this happen (20-25% down, repairs, closing cost and other expenses so keep that in mind.You also said "cashflow from day 1".

The biggest mistakes I have made were when I assumed I was strong enough to overcome the psychological effects of dealing with debt. 

The biggest problem with low-income rentals isn't necessarily the tenants, it's the ineptitude of the landlord in screening and effectively communicating with the tenant base. 

ALSO- Hurricane Michael hit about 40 miles away with damage within 10 miles of this location.

Secondly, I would make sure anything that could cause damage to your property if left unfixed is taken care of. 

Where I live, nearly every house has or had termites, so I get an inspection to see the extent of the damage or infestation.

I agreed to effectively a short sale: mortgagee sold property and I received all proceeds, which did not quite cover the principal amount and thus didn't cover any of the accumulated interest.

You may also want to tell them other products that will damage the septic system as they are different then city sewer systems.

@Ben M Cast iron or porcelain on metal tubs dont really stain...the surface can get damaged by abrasive cleaners or have heavy hard water deposits.
