Use all of these sources and look at the competition to evaluate the market rent.

I've gotten several quotes on bigger projects from bigger names in OKC and Jason at Above All was the only plumber that explained exactly what he did and did not know from his evaluation and why he was bidding what.

Evaluate what you want and how much time you have. 

Our plan is to revisit this arrangement the first of the year and evaluate then.

Yes they doThis is basically a question of whether you want to work as an appraiser or not, anything else is really just fluff, because it is not hard to evaluate properties like an appraiser.

Future househacker here, I was wondering if you have had any progress with finding a lender that will give you the loan??

In NY, landlords now have all the financial and legal responsibility for their properties but none of the control.To the OP - this is a good time to evaluate the "benefits" of a term lease versus M2M. 

I would probably manage this property myself but I want to include the property management fees in my initial evaluation should I decide to hire it out later.

I definitely want to follow your progress.

I am working on building my deal funnel and evaluating potential options (Sourcelist and direct mail, wholesalers, local REI groups, Facebook Groups, etc.).
