I run a Real Estate Call Center so I'm always getting asked to recommend skip tracing tools like Lead Sherpa or Share Group.

I have access to deals with no debt that provide monthly distributions. 

This leads to the problems worsening, and I end up having to hire an emergency technician to handle the repairs.

I found my best leads for title companies through investor referrals. 

For the home loan, if assuming it isn’t an option with your current income, you might consider using some of the cabin sale proceeds as reserves or paying down debt to improve your financial standing.

I have been with Fundrise since late 2017 but all Real Estate equity (~75%) and debt (~25%) with a fairly small investment that, according to their calculations, has returned gross ~7.5%pa (growth + dividends) over that 7 year period.So the above is not bad based on general risky asset long term annual returns, but the S&P 500 has returned (growth+ dividends reinvested) ~14.3% pa over that same period (source: using https://ofdollarsanddata.com/sp500-calculator/).

Although I am not a legal expert and am not familiar with Michigan state laws, I think a partition could be helpful if it leads to pleading your case in front of a judge who can ultimately decide.

Amassing a lot of debt and being only able to make lateral moves if I sell is certainly a huge concern of mine. 

The appraiser will do a 1007 to determine the market rent and the lender will use that figure to calculate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
