I would still be active in real estate looking for deals to increase my income because I enjoy the search, crunching #’s and even the physical labor part.

Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly 10x higher and there is no custodial requirement for the 401k.

The druggie father has lost custody for now.

I have mostly had companies not physically turn off between tenantsIf the electric goes out in winter you need to protect your property.

No, but if they work, I can show you how to find emails associated with physical addresses to advertise directly to these users on Facebook.

Find out the physical condition of the house. 

Being a nurse, raises are often difficult to come by and the job itself is very taxing both emotionally and physically.

I wouldn't even consider moving forward without proof of a legit deed on the property, a full property inspection (by someone other than anyone with any relation to the seller), I would check tax records, I would confirm the tenant lease, and I would most certainly physically visit the property.I'd be shocked if this is a real thing and not a scam...

Having dealt with, physical, emotional and verbal abuse I was driven to finish.

You need to physically drive buy the property to determine the condition.
