This scenario played out with a lot of my family who moved to Florida and wanted to come back because of the fear of future weather disasters and other issues.

Thing is, they never yell TOO LOUD, just loudly enough to be a pain to the people in their immediate vicinity, and they don't play music or anything.  

How do you see this playing out?

Other Pertinent Information We do not have any properties in play.

Yes, other factors do come into play with a first time investor though.

His bid was fair and then further reduced because I allowed him to stay at the property during the rehab.

How to get a fair assessment of the property (appraisal?).

My take is that there's still a very important role they can play in the transaction, just maybe quite a bit different that it used to be, and certainly different roles for different types of buyers.
