I highly recommend you travel to the market yourself and spend a couple days driving around, looking at various properties, if you are going to be buying anywhere.  

Always approach as a developer with a specific usage.

I will also be tracking expenses related to repairs, maintenance, travel to and from NV, hotel stays, meals, gas, and other regular business costs.In the long term, I aim to purchase additional properties under the business name, but I understand I need to establish at least two years of income and credit history before doing so.The issue I’m encountering is that my accountant has not provided any guidance on how to structure this scenario.

There are inconveniences to investing out of state like traveling to see properties, meeting with contractors, checking work, checking the property condition.

I myself have a 1/1 apartment on Davis Islands near the hospital that I'm considering renting to traveling nurses.The problem with rental arbitrage is that you need leverage as the renter to negotiate assignable lease terms with your landlord.

Try to find that property near your home so you wont travel far if something needs more attention.
