It sounds like you've already made significant progress, and it's great that you're seeking feedback.

So, a PMC inspection is really just a walk-thru evaluation, looking for obvious issues.

@Tim Townhill I'm late to this post but curious what progress/feedback you have since your original post?

@Tom Dieringer you have to consider the cost of the HELOC payments when evaluating the prospective investment.

To be honest, I am not completely confident I will be successful, but I have mentally committed to making a consistent effort towards progress.

Better than an amateur evaluating a place and guessing what's wrong, not likely to miss something big after training, but really not qualified to tell you if X property is likely to make steady money as a rental after you fix what's obviously wrong or Y property is just going to be a total money pit.It's not like you and the roofing inspector/public adjustor space, where you go toe-to-toe against the insurance companies for real money.

I'm also equally as confident, it must be evaluated differently.

@Scott Morgan -- Can you tell us where you are at now with FIG in July 2017; and how things have progressed to date?  

I am now re-evaluating if I should even sell, although I have enough equity to get debt free and buy another property as an owner occupied and create a rental like I did here if I sell.

I dont know your market but EVERY broker in the world will over promise upside rent and poorly managed (inflated) expenses. do your own DD on both of them and come up with your own pro-forma to evaluate.
