It's great to hear that you've decided to treat investing as more of a business, I believe this mentality switch is VERY important in attaining long term success in this industry! 

One of the things that is critical to success in any field is mental practice.

We did that three years ago and it gave a great boost to our plan.In Indy, also you could buy a house and rent out rooms on airbnb.

That is a scarcity mentality.

If you can get the kind of deals your talking about for a hold property you should be able to find a flip property that meets the same parameters and that might be a way to boost your cash.Just a thought.

Especially when tenants have an entitlement mentality and the fact they live next to you, that leaky toilet that breaks at 2am, they going to come knocking at 2.01am wanting you to fix it

I like to read those success stories which give me mental strength to move forwardAt the mean time, I could not able to invest due to my work and I am planning to start doing next year.

You seem not to have the dream home mentality anymore?

It can also be a very powerful way to boost returns when a hot market starts to dry up the quick flip opportunities.  

Everyone else needs to accumulate wealth at a faster rate than previous generations and owning a personal residence is not the appropriate vehicle for that, unless it fits within your plan.DIY RetirementStep 1: Passive income pays mortgage on personal residence (Social Security Replacement)Step 2: Passive income replaces W2 income (Pension Replacement)Step 3: Accumulate other wealth to leave to heirs (Legacy wealth)If you can get to step 2 while still being employed then you can retire at anytime.The old mentality was work until 62-65 and save 2 million for retirement, and live off of the interest of $100k per year.
