I looked at one lot U could build on it but there is only a 5 foot path to haul material in.. :) and they want 300k for it.. 

Selling seems like the clearest path to maximize profit and flexibility—especially with $100k equity to work with.

The good news is you're on the right path!

A good motto to go by and I feel as though I already do that so that helps me know I am on the right path.

This may be challenging with both of you in full-time W2 jobs, but worth considering if one of you can transition to real estate part-time.Alternatively, the Short-Term Rental (STR) loophole offers another path.

And how they do their mortgages.. pretty straight forward very simple process.

Like aircraft checklists and vehicle operators manuals (the -10s), one can benefit from extensive research, trial and error, and deliberate improvement principles gained by the many that have gone the path before. 

Being able to parallel path different leads seems valuable; somebody does my calls while I'm connecting with wholesalers / other agents, etc.

So sticks to path of progress, real top shelf A quality properties.
