I still work a W2 so I don't necessarily rely or depend on the money for everyday living.

Personally, I like it, especially with the lawn care, because the properties look better with our professional crew and are cut and trimmed on a regular basis, which is easier on the lawn.  

I cold call & text sellers everyday 

I have high 5 figs to invest and although im looking every day for properties I'm not having much luck finding profitable properties. 

I look at properties every day.

@Dillon Hudson - It sounds like you are planning to start slowly - The best play is to buy something close so you can self manage - I would buy a house in the woodlands - opportunities pop up every day - get something small in Grogan's Mill, Panther Creek, or Cochran's Crossing - with interest rates where they are (for now) you can find decent cash flow with 20% down.  

Try to impregnate this mindset in your everyday life...the more obsessed you are the better you will do with this.As for the comment about getting a divorce...have a serious sit down talk with your significant other and let them know exactly what you are thinking, what your goals are, why you are doing this, and that they may have to put up with you being a little more absent for a little while so you can be a lot more available later. 

You need assurances from all of these folks that the can and will answer calls every day and night of the week. 

I would think in the long run it might benefit you to take the funds from this house out without capital gains and then you get a fresh clean basis for your Michigan properties.

A HELOC you would have worse rates, but you would only pay for what you use, on a interest only basis, and if you pay it off (through a BRRRR or otherwise) you can then reuse it, and recycle capital.
