Within the next month she should have about $200,000 in investments that she can pull out.The basic idea for the short term rentals is a mix of Geodomes and other structures all placed somewhat close together on a single property with a view in the Sedona, Arizona area.

You have earned income within Georgia and will be responsible for paying state taxes on the income earned within the state.It may also be possible that when you sell the property, that the title company will require withholding done at the time of closing and remit it to the state which you can claim as withholding / tax payment when you file you Georgia non-resident state tax return.Best of luck.

My thoughts: East Bay:- Close to a BART station to traveling medical worker/corporate person could hop on a bus/BART to work: El Cerrito, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Dublin, Pleasanton- Maybe Richmond, Antioch and Pittsburg but some parts have a lot of crime. - Going further out Brentwood and Oakley have appreciated quite a bit and have pretty good schools- Something with potential to add value: ADU attached to the main house or separately in the backyard in the future to get additional rent.

I highly recommend that you utilize a low down payment loan (preferrably 5% down since it has less closing costs, you can get out of mortgage insurance once you hit 20%, and you save your FHA for another purchase) and move into a 3-4 unit property.
