Additionally, I had a bed management team prior and already had to spend close to $1,000 to get the property back into rent condition after switching management companies. 

And that's on top of the countless hours I spend analyzing properties, networking, going to meetups, and reading up on all things Detroit. 

But My husband and I pretty much manage the whole thing and account for any work that isn't onsite (swinging a hammer)  it makes sense that we would get a larger percentage I just don't know how much more we should ask for.Are you charging the hourly rate to the project for the time you're spending managing?

I agree with your number one and I am taking responsibility by having a coach and mentor to help me understand the mindsets and be beliefs that led to my spending habits.

Since you have lots of time now, spend it looking for distressed off market properties near you and making relationships with brokers.

At least not yet.I would spend some time hanging out here and at local meetups if I were in your shoes.

I say skip the MBA, focus on your real estate education, and spend that tuition money on your first cash flowing project instead.

My six year goal is to replace my salary with passive income so I can have more flexibility and time to spend with my girls. 

I am also in the final prelaunch stages of a new cleaning product line for the home that is green, safe and eco-friendly.With all of that said, this is how I currently generate cash flow, but would like to grow into REI so that I can (one day) focus on developing more products and platforms to aid others in their lives and spend time with family.

You're going to have to spend money somewhere to get leads.
