I have two 3 bedroom places, mostly families coming in so those romantic packages wouldnt be that popular.

Quote from @Sam Brock: I'm a contractor and currently building two houses on two lots that I own outright.

I was able to become financially independent in 2 years with two properties.

If you really have gone from 3 to 200 properties this past year while having a two W2 jobs, you seem to have found your niche and doing well, good for you. 

I generally look for two things: new homes on the market for sale are they being sold very close to asking price, with short days on markets or not.

@Chris Kay to learn to properly DIY manage you have two basic options:1) Trial & fire on your own, hopefully not making a major mistake that costs you tens of thousands of dollars.- Once your time is more impotant to you then the cost of a PMC, you can hire one.2) Hire a PMC to guide you on your first rental and learn from their expertise.- You can buy additional properties and DIY manage those, perhaps leaning on the PMC for any issues you're not sure how to handle on your own.Good luck:)

These are two different things.

I currently use the two family cars we have to conduct these activities, and I am looking to buy a new vehicle that is more suitable (a truck) for the tasks that I have been doing. 

Two years later I had to sell the property at a 7k loss.
