I also want to learn about other types of investment besides real estate so if you have any suggestions let me know. 

The answers are individual specific; people can tell you what they'd do, but without a thorough knowledge and understanding YOU it won't have much relevance.Here's my suggestion - read books, search for biographical information, and become familiar with people who have accumulated a good size portfolio of real property, to see how their ambitions, experiences, knowledge, and personal attributes align with yours.  

If you have W2 employees as you suggested by stating you have maintenance crew, that requires bookkeeping (payroll). 

Quote from @Nadeem Alamgir: Hey Tyran, real estate definitely offers a ton of strategies, and there are successful investors in all of them.

Detroit offers solid cash flow potential, a relatively low barrier to entry, and the market fundamentals are improving with a growing population and significant investments in the city.Since you’re based in upstate NY, Detroit is also a quick and easy flight, making it easier to visit and get a feel for the market if you’re considering out-of-state investing.

Does anyone have a form or suggestions they'd be willing to share?

@Steven RossiBaltimore is a strong market for single-family rentals, offering affordability, high rental demand, and value-add opportunities.

I would be willing to share mine as well including the sheet I built to calculate where your offer needs to be on a house hack for it to make sense.

Offer value. 

Since you mentioned that you are getting started, I highly suggest you house-hack (this is how I got started in Costa Mesa, Orange County).
