That's the potential honey pot.

Now you're at your 10 % bench mark, or if they've found a way to reduce a few costs to bring the original number to 7 percent they're at 12.

Around here the monthly meetings are held at a recreation center with a pot luck most of the time. 

Make it an adventure with your family by sharing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

The National City property is a little tricky, dicey area, you might want to put some feelers out with commercial brokers to see if they have any clients looking for that sort of a property, cap rate could be anywhere from 2% (low risk) to 7% (pot farm) depending on who you get in there.

In my experience managing real estate teams and contractors, I always feel more confident letting someone go if I have a deep bench.  

To me, there is no point in living below your means unless you have some plan for the excess means, since everyone has to spend their money on something or die with a pot of it in the garage.

But just remember that if you make a mistake (and that can definitely happen especially being new to this), you will turn your large pot of cash into a large pot of debt.I also have a lot of experience house hacking.

That way I get a little income while the property sells and hopefully it sweetens the pot for another investor if they are interested.

Holy smokes you never told me you had something cooking in the pot haha!
