I enjoy contributing on this site and don't use it for personal promotion.  

After quitting I would want to be doing real estate deals more full time and do something more enjoyable to supplement my real estate income (maybe teaching or personal training- tbd).I’ve thought of buying 1-3 more properties within the next few years and then using the income from all my properties and job to hammer down the mortgages.

That leaves you with personal loans and builder financing. 

This is easier than you think.Not commonly done for 1-4 unit residential, but very common for commercial.If you need a 35% capital injection, you find the human person with that capital.

i really think it's that simple.and, for me personally, if i have long term tenants that have consistently paid on time and had no issues for several years, i will usually get them a gift card or something at year 3 or 5.there is no consensus on BP on this. 

All 61 units have my personal cell phone number. 

I was thinking that I might stop by a CapSource office nearby where I could go in person and request detailed information about private money, even though my investment would be in Texas. 

Personally, I don’t see how they can continue ongoing billing or anything after we cancel.

Personally no.

I know a few contractors in the ocala area personally but don't really want to live there.
