I'm relying on professionals to solve the problem.

Don't rely upon what seller states.

Relying on a he said she said between the tenant and the PM is not going to work. 

I would usually say to rely on your Realtor for good lenders in your area...but that's why I was asking the above questions as well.  

You are not solely relying on a property to sell for a certain value.If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer or discuss! 

You can use Zillow to find them, but make necessary adjustments yourself (sq ft, bedroom, etc) - DONT rely on their tools.

The more YOU know about the market, and not just relying on someone else to tell you, the better an OOS investor you will be.

True private money doesn't rely on the capital markets, institutional backing, or warehouse lines typically associated with hard money. 

One problem you need to consider is when you move you will no longer be hands-on and will need to pay a management company, or rely on someone else to manage your property and you will inherit many expenses and losses you cannot avoid.

I will have to be more active than passive because I will rely on the income of these investments.
