Learn the basics, of course, but also be sure to spend a good amount of time reflecting on and implementing the things you've learned.  

This is something I should be implementing as well.

In my example above we have historical data that Indianapolis appreciation may not be significant and we also know that it has been a historically high renter market, so I will not factor appreciation into my numbers, my numbers need to make me a profit by producing solid cash flow over my projected holding period whether that is 3, 5 or 30 years and if I am monitoring my market over time as I should be, I'll know when I should implement my exit of selling at or above the current market value.   

Is there a strategy to implement to increase my odds? 

In want to accelerate the rate of funding and implementing my strategy of acquiring buy and hold of MHP's, SFR, and MFR properties.

We've been in business (collectively) for over 20 years so we've learned, like anything else in business, a lot of it comes down to systems and how organized you are in planning as well as implementation.

Set your goals higher and implement that GT350 later on down the road.

Now of course this will only work if you implement the right strategy.

I realize I have implemented a unique structure. 

I would look into RUBS charges instead - that's free to implement
