I live a few hours south of Peoria in St.

I live and invest in Milwaukee since 2007, so probably a little bias here, but we are set up very well for future growth. 

@Don Miller I live in fort myers beach.

Living in the house has definitely slowed progress. 

Hello, it is a owner passed and child wants out because they are absentee, no section 8 and the tenants have lived there already for long time 13, 6, and 4 years with no desire to leave as long as I can keep the rent same or close to same and they are willing to sign 3 year leases.I have looked at single family houses and have not found a deal that compares.

Our plan is to live in one side and update the other side before renting out again.

I live OOS and have been doing deals in the Cleveland markets for many years.

You could start by reaching out to any local corporations that do assisted living in your area and see what they are looking for (location, space specs, etc). 

Story I got was that she lives out of state, thought she had family local to help manage it but they are moving.

Everyone has to live somewhere.
