Of course, that's easier said than done, but that's just one option that popped into my mind when reading your post.

It was previously owned/managed by a “mom and pop” operation that did not keep good records.

I’m trying to keep costs low and I keep seeing $200-300 a pop for 40-65 inch.

lots of choices in Ohio .. and now that I mentioned OHIO the Columbus boys will pop in here shortly. 

Would losing three feet on one fence side make any difference if some dispute popped up?

Start taking note of names that keep popping up; if they are successful at what you want to do, reach out & see where you can help them out. 

You take advantage of the cash flow from seasonal pops of airbnb occupancy and have a steady medium term (likely 13 weeks - standard contract length for travel nurses) premium rent in the off season.

The cool thing about this strategy is it may (talk to your cpa) help you offset some taxes from your income, all while providing cash flow with a pop of cash at the end of the deal.

Focus on the higher dollar per hour tasks.I know this wasn't your question, but that sentence popped out at me, like something's wrong.

Other lenders are at 5.5% and up so magic is to find a seller at 6.0 cap rate when you get great credit tenant at 5.0% rate for 100 basis point spread and hopefully rental increase built in.The large NNN lenders do not want mom and pop or small franchisee because most times the quality is trash so you are buying the location and the dirt not the lease and the tenant for any value.BBB- or better investment grade Standard and Poor's data over 50 years has about a less than 1% default rate!
