It’s always a good idea to visit the areas, connect with local real estate experts, and really get a feel for the market dynamics.

You would visit with a community bank or credit union in your area about their products for real estate investors.

When you talk to his case worker, I'd suggest you ask them to visit him and do an assessment as you are worried about his mental health.

I would go back to your policy in your lease on visitors, who can visit and how long.

Right now we are on the high side of things.  2 years ago, we were on the low side of things where money was cheap, and cash flow was easy to be had.Some will argue to go ahead and buy now for a 'no cash-flow, future appreciation' play.

I do acknowledge I have a hard road ahead and missed the free ride part of the trip. 

You are much closer to put boots on the ground so you could arrange to go visit with the managers also.
