My wife and I are new to the real estate investing community and would love to make new connections with other investors to learn and grow.

Jacksonville will only continue to grow..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he's a excellent local lender excellent at educating first time investors.

My wife and I are small-time real estate investors with lower middle class income.

The QBO class tracking feature, found in the more expensive Plus and Advanced versions, is used by many investors.

This is not great compared to areas like Gary Indiana where rent is $1500 on a place costing $100k but the social advantage makes me feel better as less investors are willing take lower profits (less land lord competition) - and I know the returns will come in equity in the areas I want to invest.So the core questions - 1. would DSCR work well for me?

Hope to meet others in the area and get to know fellow investors.

By leasing out the detailing “bay” to a third party detailing business you are still a “passive” investor as you are not operating the detailing with employees.  

For an investor that has several units, we typically create a additional column  on Schedule E (assuming a personal tax return) called "General & Administrative".

Include details on the current market conditions, the potential impact of the solar farm, and your experience in the industry.Network with Investors: Reach out to potential investors who are interested in healthcare or real estate investments.

There are obviously a lot more factors that go into it - real estate is always going to be a mix of the tangible property/market itself with a mix with the investor/operator including experience, risk appetite, financial situation etc.I would say however if you are just getting started in real estate - LTRs are probably (in a vacuum) the better bet as STRs are certainly more sophisticated and challenging from an investor perspective
