Designing a plan, visiting stores and selecting materials, and planning a remodel gets me in a zone where time does not exist and my days blur together.

Either way, if I am building wealth primarily in my 401(k) and perhaps in home equity, I am doing it way wrong IF I aspire to financial freedom at an age materially younger than traditional retirement age.If I were a typical American, interested in early financial freedom, I might well contribute to a 401(k), take the match, and defer my taxes.

I also drive a 1996 GMC 1/2 ton pickup, which is full of materials and tools. 

Hi, I'd like to allow my renters to keep Pits and large breeds, and promote myself as a dog-friendly landlord.

Also, as I am STILL very new to this, any recommended learning material such as good articles, books, etc. pertaining to my situation would be appreciated immensely.

Maybe more so focus on getting promoted in any department that you work to where you manage people under you and then those skills will translate into managing tenants and employees as your own business grows.

This will limit my tenant pool, but may promote retention. 

Get a complete scope of work from a few contractors that breaks down the cost of materials and the cost of labor.
