I question the underwriting that shows this to be worth holding.  

I wanted someone to hold my hand because I was scared of what I didn't know. 

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

While I understand appreciation isn’t something I should necessarily bank on, but I am looking to hold for the long term and eventually relocate to the FL.

If cleared brush, than no root systems to hold soils.
