These rent for $750-$850 and are somewhat readily available [I always have access to several of these turn key work horse properties].Some local MLS have low inventory and competition is fierce [like Indy].  

Of course, forced appreciation of fix and flip is a horse of a different hue!  

So let's start networking and work your way out of the rat race.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I bought a property last December that is unique in that it has a rentable cottage, basement apartment, and 6,000 ft 6 stall horse arena (all despite being a "single-family" residence).

My wife could choose to get a job if she wants "fun money", but my priority now is freeing myself from the rat race.

I've begun earnest research in how to screen better residential tenants, and attracting commercial tenants, which is a fair bit trickier.I also own and rent out a cottage with horse pasture acreage, although I'm mulling over offering it as a lease option agreement.

Well bad rental history should have nothing to do with race but that is what people are usually concerned about. 

In my opinion investing in real estate is not a  race.
