After reading through I think it's definitely better for me dig a little deeper to find good properties and take it one property at a time.  

I still have to dig a lot on Gainesville s market to understand how the prices are on different locations of the city. 

Someone in debt can easily dig a deeper hole by getting rental properties.

I changed a water heater, huge leak in one of the units, electrical issues, and I even had to dig a 3 foot hole under the house and personally fix a pipe.

I would want to dig a bit deeper on the rent payment not being taxable income to you.  

If it's already in poor condition, then they don't have that to worry about.Personally, I'd dig a little deeper on this deal and probably would want a lower price to make it work.Good luck.

You would have to, basically, dig a whole new pol

So they dig a trench, and the abs pipe is not that expensive.It's mostly labor.

Just need to dig a little harder in areas like NJ, NY, CA, etc.  

My lesson for today is to dig a little deeper into advice I pull from RE books.
