What usually survives after this "readjustment to the world" is an understanding that thinking bigger is necessary to live at a higher level, BUT not everyone who lives at 1x is a fool or worthless being.Read it with appropriate caution, then read Speed of Trust, the Go-Giver, and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. 

In turn, they help me succeed at a high level!

@Kano Wu, building on Scott's comment previously, you need to run a very precise due diligence regarding the SRT regulations, both at Township and HOA level.

That’s when I knew it was time to hire my next employee — an Acquisition Manager.I found Milton using a paid Facebook Job post ($60), and he took the business to another level.

As for the flood plain tolerance levels between investors vs. primary residence owners, that makes sense, to a degree, of course...I know there could be some reluctance from renters as well, which I need to account for. 

But don't let the level of rehab stop you.

Being out of state bring a whole another level of complexity, my advice would be to find a house in a B area in Detroit or in the suburbs, ideally with only cosmetics repairs needed (you don't want to open the walls on a house built in the 30's), find a good property manager, put a good debt in place and repeat the process. 

I'm a new REALTOR and I was wondering how do I get into property management. How do I get certified?

Also for a cooling source with a multi level home in any place that gets hot summers, in the attic is a better option being that it is closer to the hottest part in the home.

Whenever I have a question, I know that the company I use is always available and provide high-level answers.
