And yes, still open to long distance rentals but with great cash flow this time.I am open to your advice and suggestions, and thank you in advance!

Given the distance from Winter Park, would you still consider Granby a good rental income?

So YOUR market is the geographical area where you intend to do business, your target area, and all the properties that are being bought and sold in it.Investors can choose to invest locally or long-distance.

Typically, there is a certain distance required to exist between pads so that fire dont spread due to on of the mobile homes catching fire.

So, your goal is to have equity to leverage in the form of a line of credit...or in rare cases a re-finance and take out cash...things open a bit when you're free from your mortgage, but that may be a different discussion.When you combine this with FHA for a 1-4 unit house hack, you can get into a property pretty cheap...typically just 3.5% down depending on your credit score and DTI.House 1- simple example$100,000 Appraised Value$50,000 Lien (mortgage)=$50,000 Equity@95%LTV on a HELOC you could pull out 95% of $50k...or $47,500...This is a second lien...so now you have 2 mortgages and more debt...but you have $47,500 to invest...you will have lending constraints on your 3rd mortgage (new property)...assuming you are using a conventional lender.It's easy to get into trouble in a lot of these scenarios...people really just don't talk about it that much....you have to find value to make this work...buying at a discount with built in equity when you buy. 

Due to your existing resource constraints, it sounds like you may want to focus on just getting on base for now (getting a respectable house hack).

Heard about Bigger Pockets on Paula Pant's Afford Anything podcast.Have spent the last few weeks trying read, listen, and learn as much as possible.Just finished listening to David Greene's - "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" audiobook, as well as Miracle Morning. 

As mentioned above, my preferred method would be owning a long distance rental property that I could rent out and also enjoy myself from time to time.

Thank you @Roemeo Barnette, I have been interested in investing outside of Cincinnati as well, and have recently finished David Greene's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" book, so I would definitely take any tips and guidance you have in that regards as well!
