My inclination is to suggest paying back the PML 70% of the land proceeds (presumably $168K) at that closing and then hold the remaining loan until I sell the house. 

Does Trump's election yesterday, with presumed higher GDP growth and higher inflation (Tariffs/Deficits), which means higher 10 yr and Cap Rates, change timing of CRE acquisitions?

Interesting idea, but I suspect that would create more problems than it is worth.Most of the leverage you have with a NNN lease is that you are working with a company, presumably one that makes money. 

To preface, I have my real estate license and generally pull a list of presumed high equity(purchased more than 10 years ago), absentee owners in my target market and send out about 3000-4000 postcards or letters every 6 weeks or so. 

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

I generally recommend if you're not going to buy a property in the city/market where you currently live, the next best place to look is where you have family (and presumably a place that you'll visit relatively often and easily).What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper", assuming you buy in Peoria or a similar priced Midwest market?

There's a reason that people try to buy properties off-market and that is because you can find sellers who care more about terms than maximizing returns.So start with a conversation: you already presumably have some rapport since it's your landlord and you've spoken before.

My professional background is data science / analytics, which means analyzing cash flows will probably come more naturally than building relationships, which apparently, is how one finds deals worth making.Are there meetups in these areas I should attend (digitally at first, presumably)? 

@Adonis Williams Presumably Vincent has targeted a distressed opportunity.

So how are you going to convince an investor, presumably an American, to invest in a foreign country where he/she presumably has no experience rather than investing in his more profitable backyard.
