This is a constant process.

I love my job and have no intention of giving it up, but I'd love to establish a significant stream of secondary income as a way to further build wealth.

I currently look around where I live now as it has a pretty steady stream of renters but am actually looking to venture into the Columbus, Ohio area where you are at because I am from that area. 

We still have such a high demand from our buyers and are constantly searching for park sellers.

I assume the funds (profit) I've accumulated by years end would be the amount my investment has grown, assuming the market value of the property has remained constant. 

I averaged out the closing cost to 30 years so that I can estimate a constant cash-on-cash return, which helps me modify my offers.

@Alina TrigubGreat point , I’ve been driving around and writing address of properties to contact but it is a time consuming job and having a stream of brokers present you good deals may be a better strategy but you do have a great point as well , and your right , patience is key .

I have this misconception that realtors and investors are separated by a stream...it seems that working together would be the ABSOLUTE last resort for both parties.

Your constant nagging is more likely to upset them and make the situation more difficult because they'll stop communicating.You have resources available, as well.
