One of the major reasons I never wanted to invest out of state is because, well for one I like the idea of investing in my "backyard" but two, so many markets are street by street and identical properties A and B with identical cash flow can have such major differences in IRR over the long term.

@Chai Xiong  My wife and I are purchasing a house in Kissimmee and in a nearly identical situation as your original post.

Note: both homes are identical in every way since they’re cookie cutters.

Every single house on the block had a wildly different anticipated growth rate even though all of the homes were essentially identical. 

Negotiated with inherited tenants (cash-for-keys); did a full cosmetic rehab on the property (two identical 2/1 units); placed two new tenants after raising rents from $600 to $950; sold the property with one unit strategically vacant and the other with a renewed lease.

Which is too cheap imho but I'm locked into this lease until May 2021.I think I can get $1200 for the second floor of Unit 2 which is almost identical to the first unit, after some small renovations.And I will be living on the third floor, hopefully, rent free (PITI is $1959)

Hello Brandon, As an agent you will need to begin building your identity as a trusted advisor in home sales and purchases.

If you can possibly cajole them into you finding out their legal identities first, before you give them the applications and the lease to sigh, it would be a good idea. 

I have since tried Chrome and Safari with identical results.Since I received no updates, I opened multiple tickets checking on status. 

@Clay Kelton I will needing one too almost identical to your scenario.
