I made the biggest mistake of my life going to college after dropping out when I was 25 because my caregiver at the time essentially gave me the ultimatum that if I plan on living with her, I didn't have a choice.

We are essentially looking to BRRRR properties and build a large portfolio.

If I invest in another property with that $ for the down payment, I will have to get another loan for the principal balance and if I only get cash flow on that property that equates to what I lose on the other property, it's essentially a wash right?

If I do give the PM the opportunity to essentially just process this tenant and start collecting the management fee, could i negotiate something along the lines of not having to pay the leasing fee/move-in costs?

My fear is being a one trick poney essentially.

This essentially guarantees continued cash flow, loan paydown, and appreciation.

Essentially I want to get my money back and do something else with it.Thanks you for your help!

Yes, my properties keep going up in price (and with them, rents), but I'm finding myself delaying non-essential products because I can't find competent workers at a justifiable price.

Then you can get up to 50% of the balance which is essentially a loan to yourself. 

It could be money, it could be time, it could be some other service—ex: if you are an accountant or a web designer etc Just make sure you are bringing something to the table and not just asking them to essentially work for you for free.
