I will be actually heading over to Lincolnton today to pick up my lawn mower from a shop over that way so I would be happy to drive by the house and see if it doesn't have any other undesirable qualities that we can not see.

Will the finishes be of the same quality as the home next door?

It's crazy to me how just a couple streets can make a huge difference in the quality of the neighborhood.

What quality of tenants will it attract?

The most I'd invest initially is quality time in reading and listening, and use the Vistaprint deal  that's, like, $10 to make 250 cards to just make a business card with your name, title (wholeseller) and contact info.    

This is my first post on BiggerPockets, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and quantity of your responses,  guys and gals! 

I learn best from printed materials; I've always been a reader, and have strong visual memory for words.

If you've already established that these properties meet your criteria for quality/area/condition then no, I don't think you should worry about the 6K. 

I have seen better pricing for higher quality property and location.Mark

A good local wholesaler or off-market specialist should be able to help you find quality products either on or off of the MLS.- it's always good to see another investor utilizing this great site!
