Partnering with an experienced investor in this area is your best bet I would say.

@Bryce Strange, Congrats on getting started, as I notice you are new on the platform, there are already a lot of great messages on "how to find a mentor". 

Taking in account the cold, wetness with snow boots, etc. what would be the best bet for flooring.

Your best bet would be to use a title company or closing attorney in the state the property is in, many times an out of state title company wont touch properties out of their area. 

Long amortization periods on fixed loan products combined with compound interest on investments is probably your best bet at maintaining an inflation resistant nest egg.

Taxes should be around $10,000-14,000.I bet this is roughly a 7 cap right now.

Hello @Rena Barron,Your best bet would be to connect with a local lender to give them a rundown of your situation and overview of your financials.
