I would be able to manage the finances, marketing and showings even while working but maybe not attend to the small stuff such as getting a random call to fix something stupid at 3pm when I'm 6 hours out of town or on my 30th day of night shift 12s. 

Alternately, if you’re going to do this at volume, and you’ll have to since margins here are thin, I would attend some of the lender conferences.

Perhaps you could share your LinkedIn profile showing your business background, or even photos of yourself at land investing meetups or events you've attended as an independent investor?

I used to live in Peoria & attended GCC.

Attending meetups and collaborating with those who use strategies like BRRRR can also open doors for networking and learning.Good luck!

For networking, consider attending local meetups, conferences, networking events.

I recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.

Definitely be sure to check the meetups section on BP to attend some networking in the area 

Building relationships with wholesalers and attending local Milwaukee REIA and Rental Property Association of Wisconsin meetups could surface off-market opportunities.

Attend meetups (that’s where I made friends with other wholesalers and learned from them).Good luck, and take it one step at a time!
