Thanks @Brian Tunnell!! 

There is light at the end of the tunnel...

But since both my husband and I have gotten injured from our day jobs (carpal tunnel and repetitive strain) at ages 27 & 22, we've realized this is not what we want to be doing for the rest of our lives.

., half way you should start to see the light at the end of the tunnel(!?)

Its the light at the end of the tunnel. 

I somehow just kept walk through the tunnel, and here's where things went so far. - In the past 3 months I've managed to save over $10k.

I’m 33 and just now seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

One is on the backside of Neshaminy Mall in  Bensalem  off Old Lincoln Highway and the second one I know about is off of route 476 about 2 miles from the tunnel (I see it every time I go to the Poconos) and butts up to the highway. 

I knew they wanted out but they were stuck on there old ways and i finally i got them to agree to sell it to me because i will invest my time and the little money i have to make that property look in/out  one unit at a time until a bank loans me money to buy it from them . there is alot of property owners who just want out . so iam almost there 80% rent roll and moving them in and the property owners are happy with disbelief of the 1 and 2 year contracts renters have signed and are happy cause they see a light at the end of the tunnel like you should to , forget what people say do it the way you know how then teach us how you did it . you see my profile picture thats a homeless landscaper and all the landscape tools for my complex . his dream was to have an account like this complex,so now all the landscapers in town dont understand how he got this account . the same as i did i looked and asked he seen that grass, bushes,weeds and knew it was his calling so when you pass by your next apartment building ask and you will see. 

Yes, leverage in a property matters, but like most things one can not hold tunnel vision of a single metric and assume knowledge of the whole, it's a spider-web of factors one needs to step back and take into account the relation of each factor upon the other.
