With such a huge variation in price we are wanting to find out the most accurate way to determine the true price.  

It checks all the boxes that make a great long term investment3/2 or 4/2All brickNo pool or basementNo large deckNewer than 2000Not in a floodzoneNear shopping and the interstateBonus points if you can find something with a garage How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I personally also factor in a location where it is easy to have someone that help me remotely source the deal, rehab it and then manage the property all under one shop. 

The same discrepancy may not be true in other markets.

Quote from @Carolyn Mazzola: Keep shopping around.

I am shopping for PM's in Kansas City and came across them but want to see if anyone has worked with them.

As one from a different position, I would keep the $300k in a high yield account and continue to shop for distressed properties in the same HCL areas and the utilize the $300k as a downpayment, rehab cost, etc for one deal.

The properties are expensive and the rent will basically cover your mortgage, a true buy and hold.

I guess that it's true that good things come to those who wait, or at least are patient.

And maybe that is true, but if he has not actually done it, I would be very skeptical.
