If I lived in state X but all my properties were in state y, would this make it even harder to qualify under the hours commitment (since I can't do physical activities on site readily)? 

@Patrick Sharr physical occupancy and LtL/concessions can have an inverse correlation.

I bought physical precious metals over the years.

@Dan Heuschele An infinite return via getting all your money out constantly is completely different from a TRUE 250%-400% Tax free return as I have created with this method after my 2500+ hours of studying and being mentored by the biggest most reputable faces in real estate, i.e the equivalent to what would take someone that's as motivated as possible 5-15 years to learn if they had a full time job (I spent 18-19 over a year of 8 hours a day 7 days a week on learning how to truly be a millionaire and successful in all aspects).Thanks for the tips but you did not answer my question, and I know all of the things you said obviously and I will adjust to the best possible thing available in my situation after deliberate knowledge on each individual matter and having a physical mentor,community and tons of other sources of wisdom and knowledge going into all of this before I start. 

My brother is physically disabled with MS and rheumatoid arthritis.

@Steve Chan - Why does Real Estate investing have to be owning physical Real Estate?

Perhaps with larger contribution limits and no limit on income so I can incorporate real estate investments into the mix ( Understanding I will no doubt have to move my money from Fidelity to a brokerage specializing in real estate and self direction).

I agree fully with the storefronts, and will be surprised if that isn't incorporated in the ordinance. 

PM me if you want to talk details, I'm physically in the area.

But an "inspection period" is something entirely different as the physical inspection is just part of what occurs during that time - and that is your time to bail with escrow returned if anything does not meet with your satisfaction.That PM needs to know that you're not a tenant he/she gets to manage but an investor making a business decision; don't let the PM "manage" you.
