I am planning financial structure currently while working through design and budgeting and want to bounce some things off professionals not in my local market.Thanks in advance.

Here are some specific action items:-build out your profile on BP, I want to see a picture of you, know what you do and what your goals are-be helpful on BP, start trying to answer/participate in posts where you have some value-start reaching out to people on BP specifically, with small, specific asks-go to a few networking events every month and plan on talking to many people...it takes 5 + bad conversations to find 1 good one-go to 2-3 conferences per year and be very purposeful there in your intentions, don't just go to sessions and stay quiet, be intereactiveI probably should have started with this, but what is your goal in connecting with these people?

Has anyone used 'IRA Financial Group' for their Self Directed Real Estate IRA? 

I’m trying to formulate an action plan to address the below problem I am facing.

I would look at current/past 24 months financials.

Have you and your husband put together an action plan / investing plan yet?

Renting it out is an idea though I never considered doing buy and hold so I really have no idea how to evaluate if the property makes financial sense to do so with.

So I had an idea of learning financial modeling, and offering to analyze deals for a small fee ($20 bucks or so).

I feel the second a huge storm hits, your insurance company will be your best friend and you will be out for a long time.How do you manage owning a rental property in shore towns, dealing with water and freak actions of mother nature.Thanks,Cody

Although, I have to thank him, because I see the potential of real estate investment being my knight-in-shining-armor bringing me to my goal of Financial Independence in the next five years.
