A 3 br 6 room house about $115.My cleaning lady is moving and want to have her carpets cleaned at the new house.

Not following up on contractors who take care of the property like landscaping - if you let the curb appeal go down all you will attract is the lowlifes.

The moment you go soft and "lose your edge" is the day you need to get out of the real estate business, IMO.Due to the large sums of money involved, from the price of real estate itself, the availability to leverage, financing, legal, and others, you have to stay on your toes or you stand to lose a lot of money since the money itself will attract snake-oil salesmen and con artists.You must assume everything is a lie, whether you're a landlord, a potential buyer on a house, etc.

OTOH, they had lanai's that you could look straight down from and watch the sea turtles, so I guess the appliances weren't the main attraction.

The deal must be good enough to attract your buyer.

With the information you have given I would agree that you should consider doing it, in fact, I have recommended several people moving to Wright-Patterson AFB to consider buying in that area, as the property price to rent is quite attractive.

Per the OP's numbers, that still does not look attractive.

If your finances / credit are a shambles and your current income isn't helping you sort it out,     then obviously you need to focus on gaining more income.Set your financial issues aside for now - they're not helping you - and learn to work around them.One of the biggest newbie mistakes is thinking that you need your own money and sterling credit to get into REI.While those certainly do help, if you don't have them, you need to find a different solution.Learn to attract and engage private lenders.Folks with large retirement accounts - medical people, attorneys, ... high-income professionals who may or may not be self-employed - need alternatives to the risks, whims and paltry ROI of Wall Street.

Is there a lot of outdoor recreation in the immediate area that attracts a lot of visitors?

I've read there is a record number of new apartments coming online in 2nd half of 2019 which is concerning (50% of which is located in downtown Cleveland) as, it would seem to me, that these new properties will provide steep competition for renters and make existing older buildings less attractive places to rent (driving vacancy up and rents downward).
