IMO, a TK provider who opens up shop in a new city that they do not live does not have the experience necessary to truly known the in's and outs and historical trends within neighborhoods. 

You may walk away with a deal from both of them, it will only be beneficial to both of them that the place gets done and they have money coming in. that's probably a losing property as a "Gift" but it's all in the deals you can make with the seller, bank and town.

So you will need to shop around.

Personally, I would shop around and see what other brokers can give you.   

I am an investor, realtor, attorney, and my company provides property management, so we are a one stop shop for OOS investors like yourself.

Look up THE CE SHOP for online classes.

Use an insurance broker that can shop multiple providers. 

You can call it a "gift" which there is a limit per family member.

Technically my General Contractor  status is a result of pulling my own permits for the properties I own in Cleveland heights from the 44112 to 44118 zip codes as well one right up Warrensville Center Road,  I know exactly where your property is located, close to the shopping center with a Wal-Mart, TJ Max etc. 

He equates wholesaling with a pawn shop, which I think is pretty accurate.
