How far will you travel. 

Travel isn't too bad, at worst you're looking at something like a 500 dollar flight same day.... with proper planning and little bit of luck you can get it down to half that, often.

I was in a phase where I just wanted to travel, have new experiences, and frankly, discover my passion.

Not just, "I want to have more free time and travel more."

Means of doing so without the need to travel out of state?

This property just seemed to have a lot of upside, about 2000 sf, on 2.3 acres, next to a popular public golf course and on a well traveled st.

Right now I travel 100 miles each way to work and work well over 40 hours per week on average.

The reason I'm investing in the first place is to be able to move away from the Employee quadrant and more into the Investor quadrant (so that I can work far less at the J-O-B, if at all, and have the freedom to spend more time with family/friends, travel, and generally do the things in life I really want to do). 

I switched over to an independent insurance broker/agent who got me setup through Travelers (while I moved over all of my other policies away from GEICO as a requirement of obtaining the umbrella) and they do not have similar limits on number of rentals.

Be sure to also talk to @J Martin, who is a devil and a whiz when it comes to systematizing your furnished rental business and traveling the world.
