Sometimes lenders will go with a solid estimate based in reality as well.Otherwise, @John Underwood has the best idea.

That is essentially a waste of money.

There are a lot of markets with solid job markets, strong populations, solid rent growth, but when you are talking ONE property, unless you are considering highly rural areas, it likely doesn't matter.  

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

@Dennis Bragg this was solid advice.

Don't spend time looking for something that doesn't exist. also in the US you cannot sue the police.. unless its a direct assault on your person. your wasting your time.. 

I would not waste my time with what was being smoked or how I learned of the violation.

Don’t waste resources if you have the opportunity.

Being out of state adds challenges, but the key is building a solid team.
