I stayed in touch with all of my investors who bought off of me to see how well they did and my biggest joy was when they returned to buy more or told their friends about me and what I do! 

Well, at least it's much easier to gather 201 hours than 500 hours.

Iintoo seems to be branding themselves well as someone who is knowledgeable and will only vet deals that are on point to succeed. 

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

So I said, "well, if that isn't the path, what is the better approach?"

Well maintained 80's property, vintage condition units.

Selling an existing, well-performing asset has some risks.  

Well, of course - that's obvious - but most people in most places in the US are going to spend too much on their purchase because that's what's available.

well ignore everything I said lol. 

Based on the info in your post, my recommendation would be to turn these assets into well oiled machines and max out their NOI.
