I'm hoping to meet successful investors who are willing to exchange ideas and prove me wrong.  

If it means that you're not very good at conceptualizing what needs to be done, and how much it costs, you should have someone good assist you/do it for you, even if it means hiring someone (depending on the size of your business), because getting the math wrong will mean the difference between success and bankruptcy, and this is even more true the further down the ladder you go in terms of profit margins. 

Nothing wrong with either one but the strategies are much different.  

Operating without GLI exposes you greatly and the IRS frowns upon those who attempt to skirt the issue of employees by wrongfully claiming independent worker status.

Correct me if im wrong or it isnt feasible to rely on the initial capital for future investments as much as I would hope it can.It seems the ideal situation/strategy is the BRRRR method where you can buy, rehab (to increase the value of the house), rent, refinance to get as much of your initial capital cash out in order to repeat the process.  

That sort of implies missing the point.Moral of the story, I would tell you that you are looking at this deal all wrong.  

The wrong property manager could ruin the deal.

Not sure why both these two would feel the need to do anything wrong.

I prefer in-stock, assembled cabinetry so I can exchange quickly if I get a defective or wrong item. 

Don't get me wrong if a mobile home is allowed and you have both city water and sewer, as well as a reasonable flat lot.
