You could JV with an established wholesaler and split the assignment fee until you build up a buyers list. 

Some people start in a condo but then you have HOA fees which I personally try to avoid.

I've done some research into the market potential for renting out the property and it seems we could expect to fetch between $1,000 - $1,100 per month in rent, which is promising.Regarding the property's sale value, comps in the area indicate a range between $220,000 - $260,000.

I believe this tiny country ‘town’ has fewer than 10,000 people , per last I checked.

I assume his income will not cover the cost of assisted living roughly estimated at 5-6k per month and I will have to figure out how to cover the monthly deficit. 

Took about 10 minutes to receive the rental license!

People are leaving California, Washington and other states moving to Arizona per U-Haul's transit tracking. 

That is per property.

Not too long ago, in an effort to clean up their email list, asked if I wanted to be removed and then tried to refer me to another turnkey group in Ohio (that I had already connected with and visited) to pick up a quick referral fee.  

Would it be helpful to connect with a local realtor that specializes in selling duplexes and their respective rents/ price per square foot?
