Run comps on them yourself. 

I’d love to hear about any experiences where out-of-state investing has proven to be both profitable and manageable in the long run. 

I have a partner who has the cash for the down payment and rehab cost.For the monthly maintenance, I was assuming 35% in my estimates - which I understood as somewhat standard when running estimates. 

The couple I was speaking to was running into a similar issue.

What is the better option in the long run.

I run a web development team and still code in web and mobile.

The trades didn't pay as well back then so after high school I got an associate of liberal arts ( auto repair ase certification) then continued learn in ng took hydraulic system repair and building pumps included and until an injury in2003 was a journey iron working doing structural installing commercial doors where they originally were not designed to be .always running my own side home repair business and taking any chance to learn anything new or a better way to do things because I feel if you aren't moving forward you are  stagnating .I wanted to just say thank you for accepting me and I am grateful for any and all recommendations,tips or critiques as I strive to become the best version of myself I can .

This will obviously take more effort on your part but in the long run, the exercise will be a valuable lesson for future calculations.

My company runs a coinvesting club.

I’m sorry to hear that the clueless are trying to run politics in Chicago.
