Students are a good resource for non high $$$ productions and they have to flexible time to do it

I say possibly because the particular neighborhood has some pretty wild price swings on seemingly comparable houses (I mean swings of 100% ore more!). 

My non investor friends are like wow that house sold quick!..

@Steve Rozenberg I wonder are you referring to any house in particular? 

My partner and I are looking to start investing in non-owner occupied SFHs and have decided to go 50/50.

Other parts of this city is grown but this particular spot the rents maybe $500-$550 20 Years from now.

@Evan Parker is there an area in particular you want to focus on?

If they just paid the normal amount, it would not be enough to cover the rent and I have grounds to evict for non-payment of rent. 

I was conservatively estimating about $1,550/mo for rent, but after talking to my agent and re-checking the comps, we decided to list it for $1,650.It's only been on the market for a week and the average DOM for this particular neighborhood is about 16-20 days, so I'm not exactly worried about it.

FIRPTA is for non-resident aliens.
