I bought these two houses that were next door to each other with a partner using hard money (3pts, 13% interest, and 1% extension fee every 3 months after the initial 6 month term).

Security Deposit: 2600Lease states no smoking/painting walls/no hanging things on wallsTenants have moved out and have left two truck loads of garbage to be removed.Damaged doorPainted walls which got on the ceiling and trim Lots of holes on the walls throughout the houseDamage from windows being left open constantly Weed was clearly smoked in the house (smell throughout the place) so we need to deep cleanWater bill wasn't paid so I had to turn back on utilityMissing keyQuoted costs:$450 junk removal (some furniture)$935 for damaged doors/windows, painting cleaning$30 for utility turn onTenants were only there for a year before moving out so a lot of this is beyond normal wear and tear. 

I would run from people like OP as an agent. 

Just run the numbers and make sure things make sense.

More doors, one roof, easier to maintain.

.: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: when I was buying notes I did not even run credit.. but I only paid 10 to 20 cents on the dollar.  

For an OOS investor, I would recommend looking at Kansas City as one of my CFO clients also manages 100+ doors for OOS investors and knows the market very well.

So the fact you’re already thinking about using your sweat equity to add value is a great sign.Even though you found this deal on your own, a solid realtor can do more than just open doors for showings.

I know depending on where an investor is in their fix and flip journey and the market this will vary, but Im curious because I feel like this is important when it comes to a good deal since some investors might not mind making less to have more doors. 

Another would be you are building other units next door/nearby and you can chalk this build up to the "learning curve".I didn't see a CFO on GLH or GLC's website, but I'm sure you have someone doing this type of financial analysis for your developments?
