Looking to still do accounting but if I could find something that would break up the 8-5 rat race that would be ideal.

She was the ideal prey of today's educational system.

How do I balance where I ideally want to live with investing in Real Estate properties? 

In an ideal situation, a BRRRR should yield infinite return because you would have none of your original invested cash in the property.

I have money saved and I'm ready to invest this money.My plan is to house hack a 4-plex ideally but I'm fine with a duplex or triplex at our next base in Minot North Dakota as a first investment. 

I deal with every other county surrounding Mecklenburg though, LOL. 

I deal with the financing/screening/material selection, and he deals with regular maintenance, and anything related to the rehabs.   

I deal in debt mainly and some of my foreign investors choose to do portfolio interest notes.. and with tax treaties they can pay no income tax in the US on gains here.. that's pretty nice.. complicated but its out there if you want to spend the time and effort to figure it out.

Since they still have the right of redemption prior to the auction though, it makes sense that could be worked out somehow though.Since they have to give the money to the county before they have the right to sell it to you and you ideally don't want to give them the money until they have the right to sell it to you, does that complicate the closing process or is it not that big of a problem?

Ideally, you set it up once and can log in whenever you want and it will sync and update for you.
