Sounds like you’re still in the US, better to pay for excess baggage and take it with you.

Usually they also prefer larger, unblemished (no writing, folds or tears) bills.

Visa’s are new every year. You’ll have to reapply and provide required evidence. There’s no limit of times, can be 30 years but probably a limit of one wife at a time for visa qualification. 🙂

Might want to look at language schools as well. Yes you would need to do the Non O marriage to a Thai and you have the option to add a WP or a Non B which can affect your stay in Thailand as you lose the visa extension if you quit/get let go but the same would happen on a marriage visa if you quit or were let go by the wife.

I had read that certain groups were buying up quite a bit of property.

My experience is more so Bangkok based.

unless you have an Elite visa or the LTR for wealthy individuals most other long term visas are 1 year at a time. As others have recommended it’s better to get acclimated and rent for a while (maybe forever). Not always but often when you have a property it’s difficult to sell.
