Consider getting some genuine coaching to jump the learning curve.

I guess I can keep my cash flow. 

My question is, do I just not touch the first property, use the cash flow to reinvest and pay down the mortgage or save up for a downpayment down the road OR do I pull cash out of the first property to buy the next property?

My father and I just paid cash for a little less than a 2 acre lot in Summersville, WV.

@Johnny Lynum we did offer them an aggressive cash for keys amount to get them out as soon as possible.

Hopefully, you can meet genuine people that want you to succeed and will assist you in your endeavors without trying to take advantage of you.

Additionally, many deals tend to fly under the radar, so networking within organizations like NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) can help uncover opportunities.If anyone reading this is considering selling their property management company in Texas, feel free to share—I’m genuinely interested in connecting.

I am looking forward to learning from the community and making genuine connections to grow in real estate.

Whatever works for you is "good cash flow."

It is typically lower than cash-on-cash and you can put it somewhere around 6% conservatively.
