I keep telling him its a mushroom cloud waiting to happen!

I hadn't really figured out how to evaluate that type of property since rental rates and occupancy vary so wildly throughout the year up here, but I've heard there are opportunities.

I find that in southern Florida the rental market tends to be a little wild wild west.You need to move to Houston Texas. 

But if your property has a high-end kitchen and the other one doesn't, an appraiser might add $10k back and value yours at $110k.You might try to get your hands on a few appraisals to learn how appraisers value a property and add/subtract value based on features, square footage, and fixtures/finish.While I'm sure this varies wildly, I've found that some realtors rely too heavily on automated comps or CMAs when valuing properties, and these can be off by a wide margin.

More on that here.ARV can be tricky to determine, especially without access to the MLS - and I'd be very cautious about using zestimates, property appraiser estimates, or other mass appraisal tools, because these can vary wildly.

I have no experience in renting to disabled tenants, and you eliminated my only wild hunch (Section 8), so I have nothing. 

Lots of good info on the site...just click on "Learn" and go wild.  

This is not a community where we like to talk about how wildly successful we are, or how much money we're making, or even how awesome our recent deal was.  

This may be important to you as you start, so ask about this to both KW and the boutique firm.Good luck as you start your wildly successful career.  

I have my favorites, but answers will vary wildly.
