If you want more assistance than this general answer, you'll need to post more specific facts about your situation.

Your landlord is both not too swift, and is also self-managing a $3000+/month rental.

I’m excited to connect with others here, share insights, and offer assistance wherever I can.

I am working with a nonprofit organization that will be using this home for a program that is geared strictly to homeless veterans to find them suitable housing and assistance with finding jobs.

The good places to start investing at the moment are places within a 10 min drive from main urban centers, and which have different types of residents (not just tourism, not just workers, etc).Feel free to reach out in case we may be of assistance.

Also Solo 401k could be a better option for you if you're self employed with no FT W2 employees.   

As for managing the property I am moving out of - the place I am moving to is only 15 mins down the road so I am planning to self manage for now. 

@Shannon Wright can assist ~ the property may have to go through probate...

If you ever need assistance or guidance with financing options for your project, feel free to reach out.

I will be self-managing remotely (from NJ).
