Perhaps I need to alter my perspective, work harder, or be enlightened.

In my experience cash flow and appreciative markets are usually on opposite ends -- for example: You can certainly attain a cash on cash ROI of 20-50% on certain properties but usually properties like that are not in desirable neighborhoods or are in blighted areas, which is why your ROI is so high (you paid less, because there is less desirability, unless you paid in cash) and such properties on paper may show an ROI of 20-50% but in reality it may not be so because such properties either 1)usually attract an unstable tenant base which translates into economic or physical vacancy and/or 2) such properties are usually neglected or older and thus your are spending much more $ on repairs/CapEx etc.

Other requirements include:- Strong communication skills- Availability to visit job sites twice a week (less than 2 hours a week)- Must have a high quality camera (Apple iPhone will suffice)- Ability to communicate & translate job site progress into legible notes.

That will translate to higher valuations for trading or quicker/more acquisitions.

A judge can decide the LLC is an alter ego for you and set it aside.

Also, the $1000/month increase is only impressive as to how it translates to cash flow,...which you didn't mention. 

If anyone has recommendations as to what I do, resources such as calculators/valuation websites, or how I could alter my current plan, that'd be greatly appreciated. 

Phoenix is already recovering nicely from a minor COVID dip, and our job growth projections are still strong for the coming years (which translates to a strong real estate market).

Sorry if this doesn't translate well I'm on my phone. :)

You need to keep your ownership clean as well to not co-mingle or use the LLC as an alter-ego.I will say this...
