Looking for ways to expand my network as well as possible job opportunities. 

I’ve seen a lot of investors succeed by focusing on a market with strong rental demand, good price-to-rent ratios, and opportunities for appreciation—Detroit checks all those boxes.If you’re curious, feel free to reach out, happy to point you to some resources.

Looking in Denver metro for either SFH or STR opportunities.

Quote from @Virginia Frost: I'm always looking for a good opportunity but honestly my next purchase will probably be something that I don't have to do a total overhaul on.

As others have mentioned the ability to gain experience without risk is very valuable even if you are not making the profit you would like.

Many investors in that situation look for value-add opportunities.

I found that the land is zoned so I can't add a MH to it even though the realtor said it'd be no problem (': However I think it's still good opportunity in my location.

Again, it depends on the borrower's priorities (time / energy / fees / opportunity cost of finding new deals / etc)4.

I'd do what you can to keep yourself uninvolved with it....but still help your Grandma of course..A trip to the City (Planning/Zoning/Building Depts) will give you some valuable info.
