I can visit twice a month or so.

I must be missing something.

I really want to just have our immediate family and honestly do a destination somewhere like Thailand where we get an unreal experience for about a 3rd (or less) than what you'd get in the U.S....

Feel free to reach out with questions.Also, if you plan to visit the city any time soon, know that there are lots of real estate meet ups you could attend... including one I coordinate on the last Thursday of every month.

It took 3 visits to the landlord board, but the judge finally gave an eviction order.

This means that for RE to be a good investment it must return enough above 10% to be worth the additional effort of being an RE investor. 

You must keep the ownership percentage the same at all times and all income/expenses must be split according to your ownership percentage.Be sure to seek help of a professional who can guide you and structure this correctly so you can avoid violating prohibited transactions rules:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...

You must be colleagues with someone you'd like to bring into the conversation.

Mainly, I'm looking at areas where I spend a decent amount of time due to visiting family.At the moment, I'm looking at West Missouri (closer to Kansas City), Atlanta, and North Alabama.
