OP,
I'm glad you took your first step with rentals.. not many people have the balls to do their first deal. Even though you made it work, it doesn't mean you can't get better at it an learn more of what to do, and what not do do. "winging it" is a bad strategy in the long run and fortunes have been lost by wannabe real estate investors.
For your own good I highly recommend you read:
