I want to set small achievable goals instead of the “I want to be rich and retire and not have to lift a pinky” once I have this initial goal achieved I will be able to quit my job which involves me being deployed 6 months out of the year as a drone mechanic.

The actual mechanics might need some tweaking and consideration. 

Next-to-last thing you need are mechanics liens recorded against the property.

Then, if they quit paying the rent, you have rights under Alabama's mobile home statute to basically take it in payment for unpaid rent.If someone does not own the land, they pay taxes just like they pay auto taxes when the renew their tags.

A great cosmetic renovation including brand new driveway along with adding tons of mechanical upgrades to give the new buyer a modern home with a cool mid-century look.

I've done real estate and auto loans.

I'm sure they placing a mechanic lien against the property, but it can take years to recoup the money spent on upgrades/rehab to the property.

Avoid personal debt such as credit cards, auto loans, etc...with the exception of bulding a credit score. 

We are trying to rent it again and the only interested party right now is a BMW auto-mechanic who has a side hustle on the weekends fixing BMWs for cash.

My insurance agent suggests I just put them on auto pay and forget about it.
