After the inspection was completed, they quickly addressed what needed to be address on the list which was not much, then they sent me pictures of the work done.

Both "2 bedroom" units were listed as having the same market rents. 

I have a list I'll DM you 

A quick look at VRBO shows over 300+ listings so there is competition.

Ive been told to build a huge buyers list to just get it under contract and market it.

Often times they come back with a list of repairs that they would like to see to protect the home or mitigate liability. 90% of the time those items were on our list to fix anyway, and sometimes we even haven't done before we get the letter from the insurance company.

What's left is simply $ to close (HML easily solves that) getting the vendors to do the "simple stuff" (pick your platform; Angie, Neighborly etc etc) and than to sell it (more agents than one can count happy to list). 

I will be listing for $495,900.

Obviously the answer is yes when it comes down to the cash flow, but I am particularly wondering if HCOL/high property tax areas are places you would cross off the list entirely.
