So i guess what i was trying to say was its the highest median income as well as the safest ZIPCODE in that county?

I am a high income professional blessed with a schedule which allows for significant time off I'd rather spend with my family and hopefully investing rather than selling real estate for the commission (I'd rather work extra at my job).  

More of a retirement state.

I haven't been able to renovate the property like I had wanted (and thus charge higher rent) but it is income producing and we have a good relationship. 

As a landlord with numerous Section 8 tenants, I can attest that participating in the program can be a great way to secure reliable rental income.

This would be a non arms length prohibited transaction and would potentially result in the entire IRA being distributed is my understanding...the only way this could be possible is if the OP is or becomes retirement age in the next two years.

Is it the freedom that comes with income from properties, building a lasting legacy, or growing your wealth?

rental income?

She's also not too tech savvy (neither am I), and doesnt know how to research this stuff very well online - especially for her country.We are looking for help to acquire a short term mortgage to secure our retirement home.

As you know, it is really hard to have possive income immediately.
