Should I continue to look in that area or shift my focus back to the expanding west loop? 

(this helps expands your geographic targets if you don't have to manage), etc. 

Please feel free to reach out and I would love to help you expand your portfolio!

I have done research in the area but have not purchased anything myself as I primarily invest in Detroit, MI and am looking to expand into other markets.

If you're already worrying about retiring before you've ever joined the workforce, you need to expand your horizons and consider work that is both meaningful and financially rewarding.

@Samuel MartinTry get another primary/second home if possible.If not, find a great deal and get a partner to expand your borrowing capacity.The way I scaled with no money was hustling to find the best deals and then get a partner/investor to jump in with me. 

I’m particularly interested in wholesaling and partnering with experienced investors to gain knowledge and contribute to successful projects.As someone who owns a rental property in Oklahoma and currently resides in the DC area, I strongly desire to expand my investment portfolio, especially in Florida.

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Then do a cash out refinance and move onto the next.But my main focus is HOW am I going to expand fast to achieve my goal?

That being said, I think there might be an opportunity for this program to be expanded as the the politicians seem to finally be understanding that they need to do something to fix the lack of supply of new construction homes and I'm thinking this program may end up being a part of their solution.I've tried finding some real meat/details on the program but all I can seem to find is the broad strokes at a really high level.
