Hi there I am a Pro member and have downloaded my state Lease which is a fillable lease. 

Move back the states and stationed in Nashville.

It's been gutted to the studs inside, has a new roof, and has a pool (needs work plus a possible expansion), with room for new commercial buildings to replace the ones that were demolished or for an expansion of the motel with either more rooms or a few condos for short-term rental.I'm considering selling a single-family home that I own outright in another state (Lake Havasu City, AZ) to finance this deal. 

Yes licensed individuals in different states can pay referral fees to other licensed individuals.

Obviously you don't want to kick step-father out just because he needs to stay in a rehab facility for a month or two after a hip replacement; but at the same time, this guy was never going to be able to live on his own again (and he had let the property deteriorate to a state that made it uninhabitable) and it took a lot of unneccesary time and money to work towards resolution.

AS @Kevin Sobilo pointed out this is very STATE specific.some states is quite clear cut others it utterly complex.

We bought a property out of state and that was extremely difficult to manage even with family and friends that were local and could help.As a property manager, we had an investor bring us 50 properties that he was self-managing.

But as Kodie stated, you will need to be cautious on how the offer is written and make sure you did a thorough job of explaining the deal to your hard money lender so they do not back out and you lose your EMD. 

Hi all, I took the leap into this business a few years ago purchasing my first rental which was out of state. 

Many companies I found do not want to cover a lot of homes because of the items you stated but with that the hurricanes and also in florida many roofing companies have done the "I will replace your roof for free, just let me deal with the insurance company".
