Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be.

As a creative professional historically "allergic to math," I never thought I'd consider real estate investing, but life is full of surprises!

Any more than this, and I feel that I am paying for their luxury lifestyle before getting returns delivered. 

Life insurance might be another untapped source of liquidity to look into (if you have one in place).

Life has thrown you some curveballs, but you’re already on the right track by focusing on learning and planning.

You *could* bill proportionately in more of a RUBS style with out meters.

Build your confidence by knowing other real estate investors in real life.

I would not be surprised if this was a very well thought out plan that someone would move to another country that could avoid everything you mentioned while living there where ex pats are welcome and can live a wonderful life.
