I was thinking my first couple projects to be fix and flips to get additional capital then advance to some rental units/larger complexes.

It's the biggest task I have on my plate for the upcoming years and I have somewhat of a plan, but still trying to figure out the best and most efficient way to get good used homes into m parks at an affordable price.  

I mean with the right property this should not be an impossible task.

Spot on in all accounts including the booking tendencies of larger 6+ bedroom cabins (including pool cabins).

Renovate to the standards of they type of tenant you want in your units.As for the furnace, it seems to me like you have an opportunity to replace it now: everything is being torn up anyway, you already have a budget for larger expenses.In my mind, why tear up and pay for a big, disruptive project later when you have the space, time and budget now.Just my opinion though.

Just outside of Dallas, smaller Texas markets, larger Kentucky markets, and the Carolinas are all on my radar.

I've been working with my handyman for several years now and would like him to not only do a good portion of the reno, but oversee the other contracts for tasks he doesn't do.

Then take that experience and use it to get into the larger projects (BRRRR, Bigger Issues, Inheriting Problem Tenants, Etc). 

@Justin Wawrzyniak the easiest and most effective way to manage your rentals like a pro is to start using a property management software that will automate most of your tasks. 

In fact the rules even go so far as to say that not only do the name and phone number of the local brokerage where I hang my license have to go on the marketing…the font in which I put their info has to be as large or larger than the font I use for my own name.
