I’m looking for specific information such as how to find investors to manage properties for, the hurdles you have to overcome, and the intricacies of operating such a business.Any advice is much welcomed!

If you are risk adverse real estate, (especially out of state) is not for you.

If you are risk adverse real estate, (especially out of state) is not for you.

The people asked me to help and the only thing I can think of is adverse possession.

If you have a bunch of properties then obv it would be overkill to have that much sitting there, but I think how much is needed after that is mostly personal preference and how risk adverse you are.

how can you avoid, improve or even overcome that if it happens again?

This can be plaintiff or defendant in business disputes (partnership breakups), consumer DTPA claims, breach of contract, specific performance, probate (title issues), adverse possession/trespass to try title (quiet title actions for breaks in the chain of title), or suit for declaratory judgement (interpreting a contract or boundary).I am admitted to all TX state courts, and the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas. 

INCREDIBLE view and if the buyer can figure out how to overcome the crappy road, get an easement to the property, bring out utilities (or solar???)

The timelines allow for enough research but when little things come up you have to act quickly to over come them due to the time lines of a 1031.Inventory is going to be hit or miss... you might spend a lot of effort to come up with a plan but you don't control inventory so have backups.

Adverse Possession does NOT require trespassing.
