Should I be looking at investing remotely in markets around the country? 

My wife and I are planning a cross country move in the next 3 to 5 years.

I might be in a total wrong path here.

If it doesn't need water remediation and depending on where you are in the country you should expect to spend $25-75/sf finishing the space, which again depends on what it needs.

What’s the best way to get on the path to getting the license

@Adam VendittiI am with @Andrew Freed on keeping the home. 4 green house & 1 red hotel, as Robert Kiyosaki says… that’s the path/game if you are looking to build wealth.

As you notated, Tampa has had the highest YOY rent increase over any metro in the country. 

I can see that the driveway drain is directly in line with where the rods are (the driveway curves a bit and leaves a path of soil over the sewer pipe path). 

It won't be a mountain of cash, but your price point is way higher than most of the rest of the country, so there's not much you can do.Getting a HELOC would lower your cash flow, but replenish your coffers. 

There plenty of other opportunities elsewhere, my clients are involved in institutional grade properties across the country.
