So, you have a few options:Take on substantially more challenging projects, both in size/scopeTake on projects that involve a different asset classDeal with challenges related to different geography (I'd think you'd want to move 'up' market)These are the things that you can do one or more of - you may want to think about your options and be realistic too about your capabilities.There's a lot of people doing a lot of different things on these forums, but the above gets you moving 'up' the value chain with regards to developing capabilities, and working towards furthering your 'build' skill-set.All this said, I have a friend that operates in a smaller market in Iowa that's probably a bit closer to what you are doing.

I like RE because I can fix stuff with my hands, but if an RE investor doesn’t bring a special set of skills to the table such as being able to source discounted properties, force appreciation through sweat equity, consistently making deals like the one you described in your other post, etc., they may be better off focusing on their day job and loading up on dividend stocks. $500/month cash flow and $70k profit on a single subject to deal is not the norm.
