WHY: Because our traditional retirement accounts aren't going to meet our needs in retirement.

It sounds like you've done some nice stuff to make the house better for you, and you've taken care of some maintenance items (sump pump, water heater).

Traditional bank financing which has been the key for us.

You’ll probably have to search using more non-traditional off-market approaches.And I’d look at Dallas and Salt Lake City first. 

Working with me will be easier than the traditional listing process because....There's no need to put the property address on the letter/card - for just the reason.

No loan, all cash.The expenses have been divided by categories (materials, utilities, paid contractors, insurance, other outside services, etc) and listed on the 1120S using TurboTax Business.My question is, how do I determine the Total Assets for Item F of Form 1120S?

For the finer details, I'd suggest reading a book or two and/or speaking with a good real estate agent, lawyer and CPA that understand investing and can help you with many items on your list.
