And of course factoring in insurance and taxes.

Zoom would be sufficient, less time (driving time) and more productive for both of you.

There are a lot of factors to consider here, but if you can keep your current residence as a rental, I would do that, possibly even a STR or MTR. 

Research markets, consider factors like job growth, population trends, and property prices.

@Nicholas Foy average sales price in The Eye was $87,944 in 2023.We consider it a Class C- Nieghborhood.So, tenants will probably have FICO scores under 580.Means you may want to use a Vacancy/Tenant nonPerformance factor of 20%+ in your metricsYou'll also need a real good team on the ground to minimize losses.

What is the customer demographic that is driving STR/MTR in Fargo?

Not to mention its old but the soil is a big issue then just drive on the roads that is Yazoo clay popping up and creating the pot holes and I have seen roads heave 6 inchs to a foot after a big rain..

You can also use Google Drive to store receipts.

Factors such as competition, food trends, lack of management, ingress etc, can close these stores. 

Seeing as STRs started long before VRBO (1995) and AirBNB (2008) or HomeAway (2004, now part of VRBO) this was considered when it was created.The "Augusta Rule" was a driving force.
