Without too much detail I had to quit my W2 job 2 years ago to care for my disabled son and my wife is still working.

That sounds like quite the plan!

You are priced out of Scottsdale quite a bit, but you might find something adjacent which would provide some good opportunities. 

I've done quite a bit of research on my own, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what might be the best approach.Thank you in advance for your advice!

Sure, there's a little beach at the one lake, and the shops at Cashiers, but to me it's just not quite enough.

QBO or Stessa are quite good for real estate.

Typically, the investors I work with purchase properties in their personal names and then quit-claim the title into their LLC after the deed has been recorded.Markets like OKC, Memphis, and Little Rock offer some excellent, affordable growth opportunities, and I’d be happy to chat with you to explore these options further.

It's been quite slow.

It's not quite as profitable as doing AirBNB yourself, but at least it's a stable income. 

It looks like there's quite a few regulations in place at least in Nashville, IN (not sure about Bloomington).
