What methods are you using to succeed?

There are so many different methods in real estate...I got to wonder, what are the most used methods by investors out there? I'm working hard on a plan to actually free myself from the rat race and be an independent R.E. investor. The methods I use are buy/rehab/sell and buy and hold. I haven't done a sale in a long time now but rentals are good ! The issue I find with just buying and holding is that it'll take me way to long to reach independance.
Share your methods and your thoughts.

:D

When I was a lot younger I was sooo anxious to get rich quick. As a result I did a lot of stupid things and threw a lot of money away.

Now I buy and use lease-options. If someone buys the house, I reinvest the profit, if not I use cash flow to accumulate money for another down payment. Slow and steady wins more races!
