Please understand, I'm not trying to pat myself on the back here - I'm trying to find professionals who are good at what they do, but understand our focus and objectives.

The objective:  Improve the property & drive up the rents.  

well I may not be the best object lesson here but, I currently run my whole duplex 2/1 and a 1/1 on a 100 amp and the other 100 amp from the outlet goes to a 3/2 SFR run next door.

With that being said I purchased at such a discount provided a great product/price that overcame most objections with it being currently zoned in a flood plain.I would do it again if the numbers were the same.

I’ve learned to step back, ask questions, and look at “the forest” objectively. 4) What advice do you have for those interested in out-of-state investing?

Etc...Focus on their needs and their SPECIFIC objections, as opposed to focusing on why you need the property at a specific price.I also highly recommend that all investors take a couple negotiating classes or read a couple negotiating books...it really helps for these types of things...

@Carrie GiordanoNot sure of your objectives but if ARV is $75K and your all in at $50K..I'd consider flipping out of it.  

His main objective is Cash-Flow.He is also open to purchasing a turn-key investment property.Please let me know if anyone has any recommendations.   

The lot was zoned for this but there was a requirement during the zoning process to notify neighbors for any objection to the project.

It may not be worth it given the number of properties and headache you need to deal with to meet your return objective.
