Combined that can cost $50k+ which they may not want to pay nor their is the possibility they would not they pass the DD report.Nothing wrong with raising money in this fashion (FB or online ads), many do it and are great sponsors. 

Another thing to note, these are high-paying jobs being moved to Phoenix. 

These are not situations where you will pay a price down the road like not pulling permits for a kitchen/bath remodel.

Now I'm 9 years into it and my assets pay for everything.

IE securing them paying tax's insurance etc etc. 

If you can get all the bedbug containing furniture out of the place and it will sit for awhile (or let it sit while the other repairs are done) you may be able to avoid some cost, but if you want to get a paying tenant in sooner rather than later you will want to bite the bullet and get it well done.

I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

But will have to pay in the US.  

Coin jams are going to be your second biggest headache unless you invest in those fancy ones with tap-to-pay but those cost a pretty penny.
