The stabilized properties operate fine without me but the development side of the business requires me 24/7.

To maximize your investment, use financing options like FHA or conventional loans, analyze deals based on cash flow and cap rates, and network with local investors through REI meetups and BiggerPockets.Good luck!

I'm from the Southern, MI area and I am also building my real estate media business, Elicit Real Estate Media Co. 

The property was an off market sale, sourced through a local Realtor contact of mine.

All the other real estate in my businesses are counted as assets minus the debt liabilities for net worth purposes and the business income that comes to me is counted as part of my personal income.

Just be sure to check local laws on utility billing in Michigan before implementing anything, because this may not even be an option.

Hoping to find a local community to get involved with, maybe through Bigger Pockets. 

I'd check local STR FB groups and see if you have a local Real Estate Club.You can offer your services there, maybe for free in exchange for the experience.

The house sits near a freeway junction and a busy street, and while my previous rental was also close to the freeway, something about this home's elevation makes the noise unbearablyintrusive.
