Data can be sorted by property type, lien position, LTV, and even the seller's proximity to the property. 

I've built relationships with property managers who have distressed properties in their portfolios that can communicate directly to owners. 

After the meeting there was no action plan other than doing a cost segregation study on the properties we had.

I don't know what his properties rent for yet but lets assume equal rent to my property.

I'm curious to hear how other property managers and landlords are navigating this.Here in College Station, TX, I don't accept Section 8 applicants.

I go to their properties once a month and there is only one property that has seen any progress in the last 3 months.

The property itself should bring in revenue ( even if you choose not to live in one side) and generally a bank will accept a portion of that rental income into the calculation. 

The key to investing out of state is finding a good property manager.  

I wouldn't say that office properties are necessarily foolish to buy but I would certainly be wary of it.

You look for comparable sales for other distressed properties that are similar and nearby and also counter that with finished version comps so you can see what your perceived spread could be.
