So, not uncommon to get an out-of-area appraiser who comes up with a high or low value, because they really don't know the area.

The risk you run with this model though is you would risk being over leveraged since your using 100% debt, and you would need the property to have a high cashflow amount each month to cover Capex, insurance, debt service, and your normal expenses associated with the property (property management included).

In short, it may be more valuable to pursue areas where the cash flow isn't as strong on paper because it's made up for in other problems you avoid with properties in areas that cash flow well on paper at first but suffer from high turnover, a high level of vacant properties nearby, etc.- Check up frequently on the property and conduct walk throughs as allowed by your lease agreement.- Hire a solid property manager who gets paid to keep tabs on the property for you.
