Is he looking for a new job or do you plan on using the property sales to supplement your income for the near term?

They should not have been this off and you should always use the worst-case scenario as your target number when you are doing a flip or BRRRR.If I were you and a sale wouldn't net enough, I would do mid-term rental there instead of long-term rental so you can earn more, but still not have a ton of tenancies.

I found out the Michael has listed his Georgia home on Zillow for 1.1 million and the sale is pending. 

You often only have to worry about tax upon the profitable sale of an asset. 

Rochester, NY is a very hot market, there are very few homes for sale.  

I wanted it to be passive since I have a full time job in tech and cannot do what "boots on the ground can".3.

To do with other ppls money, you need that personal relationship with the money source and then they have to trust you in terms of market research, boots on ground, analyzation, contracting, and exit sale. 

It's super competitive here and we have a large flow of off-mkt homes coming our way, so we had to develop tools to speed up acquisitions/underwriting.I built something that allows VA's or very green staff members the ability to properly distinguish opportunity as if they had years of expert experience & local market knowledge.It will run sales comps & estimate ARV for you:And has drilled-down market stats that are actually useful!

Are properties such as this more appealing to buyers with renters already on leases or will I get more interest and a higher sales price if I sell the property vacant?  

See, in SFR (1-4 unit) the primary driver to valuations is comp's, market sale comparable, what so-n-so sold there place for last week/month etc..
