I have flipped new homes and townhomes but phased out raising a family and now am focused on utilizing my skills which are building, selling, expanding a circle of influence to focus my effort on the above.

Make sure they clarify what type of tenant for a specific building you are looking into.

I currently work with investors looking to build their portfolio with single-family, long-term rentals while managing for them on the back end, making is hands-free for the investor to still work their W-2 job and live their everyday lives and spend it with family, hobbies, etc. 

Also, I'm a civil engineering expert in Building Information Modeling.

But I was lucky to get into the cabin building and I'm doing the same with the cabins that I did building my rental portfolio.

My goal would be to build an investment net with passive income, de-risking the fact that I am the only earner.  

It takes dedicated resources to build out and to do effectively at scale.

The general idea is that you must acquire an interest in real property you do not already own, and since you already own the subject real property you want to build on, the transaction must be structured so that you are creating an interest in real property you do not already own (in fact, it does not yet exist).

I do generally agree that once someone has their person, they are not going to be very open to switching. but if you can prove yourself with someone building that team, you may find yourself in a great position.
