Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. 

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

It's updated yearly and is the best $40 you'll spend as a Landlord.

Spend your spare time reading, listening to podcasts, analyzing property, studying the markets, etc.2.

Has anyone stopped to wonder why some Sponsors can secure commitments from the more sophisticated check writers while others have to target less sophisticated investors and spend significantly more time on the capital raising to compete for the same buildings?

Sure...the sponsor can take their profits from other deals and spend them however he wants. 

It is easy to spend a few extra dollars fixing a duplex up and be the best on the block.  

The best advice I can give is that you spend the next 3-6 months reading various threads here and listening to as many podcasts as you can.
