- Do you have a dedicated maintenance supervisor (or tech)?

Managing a rental property already shows your commitment and dedication to the field.

There's a dedicated group on Facebook called "Abilene Real Estate Investing Network" (with which I'm not affiliated), which would also be a great resource.

The property has a laundromat ($24K/yr), mechanic shop ($7200/yr), and 2 mobile homes (owned by the tenants) on a month to month lease ($400/mo).

Your dedication to real estate, both as an agent and in your personal investments, is inspiring.We're all here to support each other on our financial journeys, and it sounds like you have a lot of exciting ventures ahead.Best of luck! 

It wasn't a mobile home but the lesson still applies. 

This way you don't need any loans, you get to grow your equity/experience/income with every house, and the passive investors get your time/dedication/growing expertise/energy/and an inflation resistant investment. people want good investments, the Horse, but they mostly judge that by the earnestness/ambition/expertise of the Jockey. good luck :)
