Are you looking to add more to your company or begin a personal portfolio?  

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing niche since 2007.

In 2008 when the stocks went down, I realized my 401k was invested with a person I had never met.

I had to put 20% down and I bought it using personal credit.

Hopefully they do or your personal insurance covers them.

The one who thinks that they are masters of the universe in EVERY area of life, has 30 different businesses, claims to be fit as a fiddle, with a life in perfect harmony, shows off huge toys, has 30 different businesses, including selling their time by the hour to provide coaching... this person is not running a real estate syndication business.

They both had good intentions and I have personally seen the inner workings of the business in attempting the "Done for you" model.

Meeting the team personally has some value but I have worked with dozens of investors who have never been to Memphis and never meet me face to face. 

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

Being in Dallas gives you the advantage of doing your due diligence in person, which is invaluable.
