I am an experienced observing investor watching others in the background and finally want to make some noise actually investing, to be full time in the next year to replace my income.

I also work from home and I'm concerned about potential distracting noise throughout the day.

The "story" is just noise.

Please let me know I am all ears

There is a descent size forest and another row of homes in between but you can still hear the noise. 

Wet behind the ears. 

I just finished fixing up a single family (3 bed / 2 bath) in the East Hills neighborhood of Grand Rapids, MI.I've had many inquiries, and several prospective tenants look around and make positive noises, then it emerges that they're not looking to lease the place until 4-7 months from now.Obviously I've gotten wise to this, and now one of the first questions I ask is prospective move-in date, but is it typical for people - students in particular - to look for a place this far in advance?

Often you need to know how to filter out the noise and see what is the usable data that relates directly to you specifically and locally.

>>>With that much money you should be able to leverage yourself into a much larger project.I'm all ears...My goal is to stop paying rent ASAP and start cash flowing enough to cover living expenses.

I've already learned so much from BP :D If anyone else wants to chime in I'm all ears!
