Ryan Dossey It was an estate auction, so I did receive all the keys to the property. 

@Ryan Redmond If you're not sure about the after repair value, you can get a BPO (Broker's price opinion)from an agent or at the very least a CMA. 

Realquest is a good choice if you don't have MLS access.

Your 401k can be converted into self-directed retirement plan giving you the control over the investment choices.

If flying over is not an option for you,, I think you have no choice but to wait the 6 months out and get yourself ready with all the peripherals - solidify your plan of action and market,  reach out to potential partners and suppliers, research financing options, insurance, management etc etc- so when you do finally get there- you can hit the ground running.The other option that I am now  getting more involved in slowly - is online  crowdfunding - A lot less hands on- but far more doable long distance.All the best

@Cameron PriceAs others have mentioned, the Solo 401k will likely serve your needs better than an IRA (whether just a custodial self directed IRA or an IRA LLC).To setup a Solo 401k, you'll complete an application with the provider of your choice so they can get the information they need to create the plan and trust documents for you.

Welcome @Michael GreeneAwesome place to move, great choice! 

Option 1 is far and away the best choice.  

Hey Ryan, great story man.
