I agree with @Lynnette E. .

Obviously, a property that can create cashflow on a monthly basis would be more ideal.

If you need to drill out the locks to enter you have that right as long as you provide the tenants with a key - which is not ideal when they are in the process of being evicted. 

There are a lot of PMs - and landlords too, for that matter - that will gladly trade 25 bucks in rent for a stable tenant, even if it is not an ideal tenant. 

Ideally you'll still find a Realtor who can give you accurate comps for the area, but if you can't, go with your nearest guess based on current listings on the market and "Zestimates"  etc.

The paperwork, lol, that's a functionary item and so not worth of needing some "guru", it's paperwork, I have done deals on a napkin before, literally, not ideal but hey it got the job done.

For greater context, I work in downtown LA and I am prepared for a longer commute (ideally up to 1hr).

e. vacant land, other than farm land, owned by or rented to an “Insured”Talk to your agent and find out if you policy applies to vacant land and if there are any conditions (.ie no development, no roads, no utilities, not cleared, etc.) that may apply.If the land is covered, you may want to add an umbrella to get some additional coverage.

I got an e-mail from Honeybaked Ham today that they are already hiring for seasonal help.You all oversee a whole lot more tenants than I do!
