Hello everyone, I'm extremely new to real estate, just in my early days of getting educated, and I had a thought come to mind the other day. 

Id do a drive by just in case.  

welcome, do you plan on doing business just in the clearwater area?

@Ben Skowronek,I am just in the initial stages of working on a seller financing deal, and thinking of 'how to interest them in it'.... meaning looking at it as how it could benefit THEM too, not just you.

+1 to the words of @Justin Pillion.

Justin Lloyd how reliable is that website ?

It is not a short sale or foreclosure, just in really rough shape. .. and we'll find out how rough after the inspection. 

Then two years later sell the rental, also saving on the taxes because I have lived there for the 2 of the 5 years.So my question, I want to see what your guys opinions are with these considerations:-I have kids and moving is such a hassle-we love the current house as we have great neighbors and love the location-I love the security of having two houses, just in case something were to happen, my family still has a place to live-but also selling the rental house can put some big money into our pockets.thank you all for your advice.
