Cloud-based platforms will be the norm as all business will shift to less office more take care of the clients and employee's life for the long haul. 

If I'm intending to haul furniture and heavy tools, a truck would be better even if it is more expensive.   

Buy the land with the mobile home on it because she can't pay off the loan until she closes, and won't want to demo before closing in case you back out then post an ad for a free mobile home if someone can haul it away, if it is in halfway decent shape you'll probably find someone to be able to take it.

I want to do what’s most efficient and cost effective for the long haul since this is strictly a buy and hold property.

@Doug Wolff Your WA agent is likely finding a FL agent he can send a referral to.  Yes

And selling in that 700-900 range properties tend to sit a bit longer because there are less buyers in that price range.I have also considered building a spec home at a considerably lower price, and I am also toying with the idea of putting a manufactured home on it for around 100k and getting a quick return. 

So it's been a long haul.

I’ve toyed with the idea of a self-directed IRA, but with only 20k in there, it doesn’t really seem worth it yet.

You'd be surprised to know how many no's lead to yes through follow up. 

I have been toying with using money in my IRA (I will have to pay the taxes).
