I have a pretty specific vision of what my portfolio will and should look like, and I'm happy with my choices thus far.

Hi,How about investing in distressed 1-family homes, They are close by to world-famous attraction places, (some within walking distance, or a short minute's drive) Very cheaply priced, and way below equivalent houses somewhere else. either for Fix and Flip or for Short-Term Rentals/Airbnb, I am a strong believer in my forecast vision, and as far as I look at it, sooner or later these houses will get to be hotcakes!

I’ll be buying real estate with the long vision in mind, good pulse on the market!

Avoiding the advice of those who don't have what you seek is a great start to clearing your vision and focusing on what you are striving for. 

I get the vision of house hacking and how it can help you break into investing and generate income, and build long-term wealth.

Your new, so I get it, what's going through your head and the vision you have for how the R.E. agency world works, it makes sense, only problem is it's only in your head, the R.E. world does not work like that, not at all. 

I have visions of sewage seeping up through the yard, backed up drains, tenants that don't know what they can and can't put down the drain, and tens of thousands of dollars of excavation and repairs. 

And I had hardworking people committed to my fledgling real estate vision and wanted to keep the train rolling.High off a profit of 20k-ish, I hit the streets to find more homes to flip.

Your vision of real estate investments may have been a little misguided by "Easy Money Gurus" but now it seems like you have a better understanding of how you can provide real-value (within REI) to make yourself money.I have one suggestion...

Title companies failed, I did their job and found all keys, attorneys played money game, I found an honest one and gave him the vision of clear way out, so there were 2 months of learning ropes from my side but then occupant get kicked out quite in a few days after second hearing.
