Thanks Walt, I'll keep that in mind I tend to lean on the side of caution.

After this week, I'm leaning more to a handyman that can do everything instead of specialists.

My agent activity will be limited to personal properties and investor referrals.I'm currently leaning toward the broker that offers the best training, as it seems like an upfront investment but also another good opportunity to network and learn the markets better.Great point about seeing eye-to-eye too...good advice.

For Waterville, the quality I see is "top 20%" so you should have NO trouble keeping these rented unless there's something the pictures aren't showing.If those first pics are the 3 BR I'd actually think about leaning toward the $800 ish range.

My experience in similar units doesn't really give validity to lower rents as they were the same but desirability leaned toward the bottom unit first then the top, and that depends on any view from the top, that can make a difference. :)

I'm leaning towards the half wall.

. :) Account Closed - I'd say my state is pretty tenant friendly, but my county leans more landlord friendly (or at least, pretty fair as far as I can tell.)

If you don't have good sale comps, forget FHA, when I saw the title to your post I already thought of the appraisal issues meaning you'll be going to a bank as secondary market loans lean on sold comps, such are rare in most markets.If financing is difficult on this property due to condition and lack of comps for you, that means it will be for other buyers, except cash buyers.

This isn't something I would do on purpose, but if I had to lean towards one-side of it, I think this one is better.Thanks guys, this is extremely helpful.

Had success starting a sports training company as well.We are most interested in rental property so that we can grow our cash flow column and have equity in multiple properties.BiggerPockets podcast has been awesome for me as much as I drive around and looking to continue my real estate education through the forums.Hoping it will be a place I can lean on for support and as I grow provide support to others!
