Pros = 1) Rented on one side for 15 years, the other for 2 years 2) Zillow is telling me that its worth $52,0003) There is nothing rented for under $400 on Craigslist in that area.4) I have it under contract for $20,0005) I have had an agent/property manager tell me it is worth 65K not to buy if for more then 50K he also has properties in that area. he thinks it should rent for $350 to $375.7) A property manager went there and told me its not in a war zone,but its a 6 with 10 being the worst.8) A second agent gave me an income approach and told me if I wanted to sell it I could get about $40,000Cons= 1) 3rd agent went there and he told me that the area is too rough for him and wont touch it, but has friends that will go in that area.2) I am unable to pull comps- I have used things like myfirstamerican, Eppraisal, Chase estimator, and not getting anything, this is also why I have contacted a lot of agents to give me some feed back. 3) I live in California and will have to find a support team there.
