Guys, I need a little help here. I've been investing in SFH for rentals for about 2 years now and its become evident its not gonna take me to my goal soon enough.

Its clear to me I need more education. I'm still missing important items that I just dont know how to find right now.

I have a few hurdles that are holding me back from even progressing in the SFH market so I feel really stuck and its been dricing me nuts. I'm a builder / remodeler by trade and i've been going nuts without a project to go to everyday.

Can anyone offer any advice to give me a push in the right direction?

Right now I lack liquidity due to a fairly heavy debt load. The debt is coming down but its taking awhile. Bottom line is I need 50 large that I just cant seem to find.

I cant even get some debt consolidated to quicken the payoff.
