If you need more info on either, I'd be happy to share them with you.

Tons of info online.

I’m a bit stuck on trying to decide how to move forward with this question that must be on everyone’s mind… What’s the estimated benefit/loss when deciding to pay down a mortgage on a property versus saving that extra money to reinvest in another property?

You could also call the city and ask where to find this info online.

I have 80k in cash saved and do not know which avenue to take...I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast, and want to find my niche, but also want a quick ROI on my first deal.

Thank you for the info!

Court cases don't sound fun but that is also very helpful info to have!

I'm hoping that someone in construction will buy it so they can work on it themselves and save money. 

You have found the best source for RE info.

However, self managing could potentially take a big chunk of your time.Speak to a reliable PM like @Chaim Lampert for more info
