I have no plans on getting involved on the sales side. 

I have some negotiation tactics under my belt but I am hoping to learn about some tactics involving talking to land owners about selling their land or even thinking about selling their land.  

Since I am an out of state investor do you know if they will handle all of the stuff involved?

Seems to me that there are issues with the car that involve some thought since one of the units is on top of the garage.2) anything else to consider?

But before reaching to everyone involved I would make sure the charges actually relate to a third party's usage rather than your connection, account establishment fees, etc.

I did find one bank that would refinance to a 15-year loan at a good rate, but that would involve throwing a lot of cash into principal to get the payment down to the point it keeps cashflowing strongly.I've only ever bought two places, this rental and the one I'm in now, but I had considered buying a 3rd place in DC before my next overseas stint. 

I'm currently involved in one right now. 

I'm pretty new to it myself, still figuring out how it works, which part of it I want to be involved with...I know one suggestion I hear a lot about is going to Real Estate Investment meetings/ Associations.

Are you involved i.e. what is your sphere of influence?

What's the square footage?
