Be careful not to place your identity in your age/success in RE.

Whereas owner occupant buyers are looking at comps, sold prices for similar nearby properties, and don't care about cash flow. 

@Steven NguyenThe BRRR method is a solid strategy, but careful planning is key.

But be careful expecting to refinance.

However, hauling away a truckload of items and cleaning beyond standard expectations could reasonably be charged to the tenant, as it goes beyond normal use.Goodwill Gesture: Since this tenant was great for 5.5 years—paying on time and caring for the property—you might consider waiving part of the cleaning cost as a goodwill gesture.

Current status is that the Dept of Health has not yet issued the Septic Permit yet.

@Sofia De Santos Tavarez if you haven't already, have the property professionally inspected.This should catch MOST of the structural, health & code issues - but not all.

Also I dont know the state of the house ie is it completely derelict and trashed or what not, as previously stated i dont care about the house, just the land.

If the tenants don't care for the pool properly, it could cost you thousands to fix.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!
