If you need any help in the area from pictures of home, to items being valued and or my experience how to get rid of them from estate sale to auction to donation.

If you're heading into retirement, you want to likely get your debt out of the picture.

It paints the picture of a successful investor who's only constraint is access to capital.  

Take some pictures of the house and the condition it is in.

Just the fact that it's a townhome means there's 1 or 5 or 50 just like it, so I can't picture what could be so unique about it unless the OP is fleecing the seller and he knows it, and the seller has just realized that which is why he doesn't want to sell.

A good company can do a market analysis to see what is the rental rates are for that particular area, do evaluation to see what repairs are needed, take the right pictures for marketing, have multiple ways of posting your property and finally getting the right tenants so you have a piece of mind.

The property could be boarded up with no pictures.

This gives you a more realistic picture and protects you from unexpected surprises.

Also, coming from running a business just think of RE as a business (which it is), the numbers have to work and your investments need to fit into the big picture.

When I hear something costs $700/mo. all I picture is 3 rental properties floating away, into the sunset....
