I'll be honest my Mother said I should go, lol. 

Hi, I'm Marivel Fortenberry and am a mother of five with a passion for real estate.

The mother would take charge of the situation, including the short sale packet, is this possible ? 

@Jay HasseyAs my mother used to say:The Lord helps she who helps herself!

The bar is currently making money, and the apartments are not being utilized, but after a quote, would only take about $1,000 a piece to get up and running.The owners are sisters who inherited the property from their mother, neither of which are currently involved with the property other than receiving $600 a month for the rental of the bar. 

My wife is in nursing school, and I'm paying for it so that we don't have any loans when she graduates in 2 years.

Your only location requirements/desires are as follows: Must have warm weather 9+/mo out of the yearMust have good - strong job market (UI Developer/Nurse)Must have relatively low cost of living (unlike the Bay Area)Should have healthy real estate market (rentals and flips)Here are your long-term objectives/goals: Purchase at least 10 acres of land to build a small house and start a small permaculture farm Become financially independent in 10 yearsEstablish the financial foundations for generational wealthGiven this financial standing, these location requirements/desires and these long-term objectives/goals, and a year to plan/move: Where do you move to and why?

The owner had been in a nursing home with a brain tumor for 5 years.  

One of the things my mother always mentioned to me was to beware of the "grass is greener" mentality. 

I'm currently going back to school and starting nursing school. i hope to be an NP.
