Ride out the W-2 a few more years and acquire as much real estate as you can.

P.S I got both the properties from builder's lender at around 6% for 30 YR fixed and will be planning for Cash out refinance on 1st property to get 70-80% of my down payment money back and invest those in getting more properties.For new construction, I am pretty much confident with my previous experiences and will be a smooth ride for me.

Quote from @Hai Le: Am I allowed to ask for a tenants vehicle information to add to their file? 

It's a wild ride, but if you hustle smart, that 9-5 could become a thing of the past.

It's great buying in 2012 and riding it until 2022 with leverage. 10X your money, but might be good to get out after a while, I have another thread about that.

Can we ride on our credit for some of the ownership or would we need to put in $$ for the financing, too?

Most long-term sponsors know downturns happen periodically and that's why they run for 7-10 years plus (to give time to ride it out, valuations to recover and sell at a better point). 

Very interesting thread for sure but there are so many dynamics to this- if your in a area that is "ride or die" platforms- knock yourself out with just those.

I’d look to find more of those, as I regularly do by riding my bike in my “farm” area and talking with sellers.

Driving for ride share or grocery delivery is something you could start in a few days.
