While I find this the ideal way to buy more properties it also stunts my growth and I tend to lose patients. 

Right now, your fighting saying this square peg won't fit into the round hole. 

Ideally, you layout all the duties (Find, Underwrite, fund, rehab, manage) and assign a value to each of those based on how much time they might take. 

Given the scope of your work, a simple plumbing leak would not concern me, it's a $200 issue at the most and ideally, it's just another line item when you do rough in plumbing for the kitchen.Being in a Milwaukee suburb, I am guessing it's a 1960s ranch, probably with galvanized plumbing.

I designed a little U-shaped kitchen to fit right in the space.

(Ideally I'd like to hold the homes a long as possible)Would love some feedback from the BP community

I'd start by refining your search criteria, researching the surrounding markets, and comparing them to what best fits your needs, etc. 

Sub30k seems to fit this bill, although I recognize there is also substantial risk associated with it when done improperly.

It was honestly luck, I didn't know much about real estate I just knew I needed a house that was unappealing to others to be able to buy it and have it fit in our budget.

Ideally the elected leaders can try to streamline the process like we did in FL by prioritizing the rebuilding permits & waiving permit fees.
