I don't want to use up the cash flow to spend and would probably want another 'nest egg' for capital expenses, in addition to what was already set aside from rents.

I'm located in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and am open to properties basically anywhere in southern Michigan (anything south of Muskegon from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron is fair game imo.)I now have a fairly large nest egg of cash beyond all of my other investments (stocks, bonds, treasuries, crypto) and I want to turn that cash into a real estate investment or investments and I think my deep background in tech, systems, and marketing should be able to help me substantially.It seems to me like BRRRR on multifamily units makes the most sense, but I'm open to suggestions.I'm basically retired at this point as the only work I do each week is 3-4 hours of consulting for larger tech companies and I'm on a couple advisory boards.What are the best first steps in building a team and creating the systems necessary to start making deals?

Alternatively, can put the money into the markets with transactions that take 2 minutes and watch nest egg grow.

However, if there IS a nest in the house, I think it would be good to have it professionally treated soon.What would my fellow landlords have done?

Nest seems like a good bet, but it's not clear if they are compatible...?

Neighbor puts up a nest cam on his high back fence pointing right over into our back yard where the pool is. 

What it seems like you are doing right now is stretching and rushing.You have a good nest egg for your annual salary, you don't want to burn that all and have to wait a few years to build it back up again.

She supported me through school, and now that I'm stable in my career, I want to return the favor by helping her build a retirement nest egg.Her financial situation isn't ideal, with maybe only about $40K to her name and no significant assets.
