All none issues, I register lets just say one or two props a year. 10 years doing biz there, sue some headaches but much better than having a job, All the best 

The books are already outdated (that isn't to say there isn't any value).The minor might be interesting if you want to get a corporate job in real estate.

Any advice on how best to accomplish this task?

That being the case any job with normal hours is out of the question.

Yes @Michael Smythe I was planning on but I also have a small room in NYC (where I work) so the days I don’t want to drive I would stay here and go back to PA weekends but I spoke to a lender and said I would not qualify for that since it’s a bit far from my job and they might think I’m doing mortgage fraud it’s just complicated so she recommends just doing a conventional loan with 15-20% down payment and use it as an investment property Which at that point I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

I'm lucky to have a stable government job with a decent salary. 

We are currently renting, as I just began a new job this fall.

I WANT TO retire from my job TODAY!

300 jobs isn't a lot to bring to Memphis for a $3-4 billion dollar project (it doesn't take much to run a data center). personally I'm a musk fan, but we have to consider the ramifications to demanding this much energy.

Also, you are able to purchase upto 100 mile radius from your job site.
