As I addressed in another discussion, most money in real estate is made by long term appreciation and by improving, repositioning, and stabilizing the property, NOT thru purchasing at a discounted price.  

As you try to manage and "push" vendors for your property, sometimes the only way to improve is to change.

Village to Village Network (https://www.vtvnetwork.org/) and Men’s Sheds Association (https://usmenssheds.org/) are successful models of people building community to improve the aging experience.So drawing on Dr Thomas and Nancy’s work and incorporating cohousing and pocket neighborhood elements into my communities, I have chosen to use shipping container homes in areas along the Texas coast where storms frequently cause wind and water damage.

If that is what was meant, spend a couple minuets and think about putting some ethics into your work flow.

On the rental property side we will go through another round of capex improvements, mostly driveways and roofs.

With that said I feel like I significantly improved my position and reduced my stress..Being  high income earner is great, but the goal is what you keep and what you spend.

Then focus on improving your interviewing skills to help you build a solid team on the ground wherever you do choose to invest.

As the market improves, you might also have a chance to refinance and lower your payments.

This is just the latest case study of how Government is incapable of improving housing affordability on its own.
