It looks like a lot of homes in that area are not necessarily cookie cutter and comparable to other sold homes near by.

I have no idea of the DC layout, if I'll be near you either tomorrow before we head to Snowshoe or Wednesday on the way back, but if we happen to be nearby, might could grab some coffee!

However, I'm somewhat leaning towards using that HELOC for a small purchase nearby our current home instead, to be rented out as well.

Does anyone in the family live nearby her house and where is the retirement home she's living in relative to her house? 

What parks are nearby?

Many people live paycheck to paycheck and $200 a month is a lot of money to many renters.If you want to know what the place could rent for go visit 4 or 5 very nearby places that rent for what you think is market rent.Then go visit the target property.

@Thomas S $72,9004 these are the nearby home values $52,7002$53,4003 $107,500 $76,300

If they're young workers, you'll probably want your rentals nearby transportation hubs, cafes, and restaurants.

Perhaps I should have phrased my previous comment differently...Of the facilities that accept Medicaid we visited in our area, none met our requirements.We chose a nearby non-Medicaid facility that's about $5.5k/mo for 2 ppl in a 2-room suite including elevated level of care. 

Great restaurant nearby and safe neighborhood.
