Taking these two pieces of info will tell you how long you will take to get an offer, so if you go past that you should lower the price, and then the other action item would be to starting off lower than all the other properties if the condition is better than your condition.

So, I'm looking to invest in other markets and trying to focus on one or two so that I can build knowledge over time, but narrowing it down is a challenge. 

My daughter has been fishing in the creek for two days and never caught any fish.

Security Deposit: 2600Lease states no smoking/painting walls/no hanging things on wallsTenants have moved out and have left two truck loads of garbage to be removed.Damaged doorPainted walls which got on the ceiling and trim Lots of holes on the walls throughout the houseDamage from windows being left open constantly Weed was clearly smoked in the house (smell throughout the place) so we need to deep cleanWater bill wasn't paid so I had to turn back on utilityMissing keyQuoted costs:$450 junk removal (some furniture)$935 for damaged doors/windows, painting cleaning$30 for utility turn onTenants were only there for a year before moving out so a lot of this is beyond normal wear and tear. 

or needs to be in two places across the state from one another?

The last one I dealt with for the past two weeks, is a large corporate cash buyer that just admitted that they need 90-180 days to close on a deal!

I mean I highly doubt( but sure there will be other who say otherwise just because) you will find a very good investment property listed on MLS or other publically available service.On a side note if I did have aprroximatley 400k equity in two of my homes could I use any of that to invest in another property?

How many showings have you had in two months? 

The cash flow is a bit sub par on this one and I anticipate some larger expenditures coming my way in a year or two so I'm contemplating this as an option.
