I hear agents talking about it who don’t work with investors and have more retail-type buyers and sellers asking about it, so it seems to be becoming more mainstream. 

Our thoughts are to buy it, clean it out, paint the interior, fix up the second bathroom, and put it back on the market.

If Seller no shows, have your agent give them a call and communicate the consequences of defaulting.

Do we have to give the tenant the names of vendors or all people who we're at the unit giving estimates or doing the clean out?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

In 2018 I got my real estate agent license, but that wasn’t a good fit for me.

As I tell all individuals wanting to invest out of state, regardless of the market, your success rate will largely depend on the resourcefulness and reliability of your team (agent, lender, property manager, contractor).

A coach has methods, systems, procedures AND contacts.A good buyer's agent can do all of that and more. 

I would check with an agent in your area.
