One has in house ppl (it's more expensive) but it's nice.Also PRICE everything into it... where if you were local, you can manage on your own.Price in the management issues as your monthly expense.I am also a realtor, my out of state buyers will FLY OVER. since I myself is a long distance investor, I setup an area tour so when we talk about areas my clients have a visual. 

I've looked at some properties in Baltimore city which look intriguing because I could afford them with cash but given the areas they were in and their condition I couldn't identify an exit strategy for the property that was likely to make me a profit (probably due to my newbie-ness). 

These make great supplemental comps and may end of being what you use if the others you picked out visually bust out.After I have my list I try to make sure they have the same bedroom count, within 10% of the sf^2 and within 5 years of age of the subject. 

I'm sorry, John C, but that visual is too funny!

If you need a visual, go to any amortization table and see how each month the interest and principal is allocated, and how it shifts after year 5, 10, 20....and so forth. 

I'm a visual person and I need to see something be done before all the pieces of the puzzle click together for me.

The kitchen is straight out of the 70's, and there are some nicely dated frilly curtains on all the windows, but based on visual inspection the house itself seems in great shape (Pending professional inspection). 

:)Also, welcome to BP.A visual inspection will tell you if it is worth taking it to another level.  

Stevens and Ness is a known source for non realtor forms locally. 

Park is pretty nicely maintained overall and much more visually attractive than park 2.
