I'd recommend starting with it to get an idea, then cross checking by identifying the quality of other properties (meaning interior upgrades and proximity to transportation/shopping centers) by viewing the actual listings and pictures.

I currently am working in the transportation/ logistics industry and have no formal experience with real estate.  

And other locations within close proximity to the city with good transportation. 

That they have become elderly along the way and that one tenant lost her husband and now relies on the other for transport makes it all a night-mayhr.

Most of their events are down the hill and I don't trust my transportation that far.

The 20k for these fully furnished homes, included the transportation and set up fees.

There are areas with a bit of both cash flow and appreciation that are usually close to good transportation lines and that provide good access to the city.

Quick commute to employment and transportation is very important for tenants.

(Overseas).I looked it up on a jobs website and found 10 telemarketing jobs in the smaller town, while in the largest city there were 225.Smaller town does have public transportation and shopping centers.

I see a lot of leases: the home made ones are by far the worst, not much better are often "attorney drafted", they look and sound more professional, but they are usually quite basic, the content is often not practical, over regulated in some parts and completely unregulated in others.See if you can find a State specific lease form that has been around for a long time and is on version 27.4 and not 2.0 - every time a legal issue or dispute comes up, these old leases get modified and updated.
