Good feedback i will take this under consideration. i would love to have a community of nurses and flight attendants and pilots. 

You should download the lists of properties, research a few, attend online or person, and learn the basics.

@Kyle FitchI'd recommended attending local RE meet ups in the Detroit area.

I attended an informational training for beyond bnb, without signing up for their service, I implemented a couple strategies they discussed and found they worked.  

I often look at them and think if they can do it, probably I can have some level of success too.Other key info I may have left out above:1) I am not in the US, and have no plans to visit or move there2) I am not a US citizen, but possibly have a credit history there (maybe none) since I attended university there many many years ago3) I am completely new to real estate - I've been reading crazily and consuming lots of content.

@Alyssa Dinson you can search here for posts relevant  to the city you are interested in and also attend meetups and use Facebook groups but be cautious in vetting:)

The city has a few popular vineyards and every year a festival is held where roughly a quarter million visitors attend. 

Red Stick REI is a great meetup in BR if you're not already attending it - it's on the first Tuesday of each month. 

I highly recommend attending real estate networking events to meet more people is this space and pick their brain and learn more from their projects and see what is working and what is not.

I attend both and I'm on the Board of Directors of R.O.A.Finally, DM me here with your phone number and I'm happy to open doors for you locally.
