I would agree with @Jessica G.It's also a good exercise to go on Zillow or Redfin and filter for recently sold comps from the last 6 months in as small a radius around your subject property as you can find.

There are other filters to apply but I'm going to wait for clarification from a contact at the Iowa Economic Development Authority on where everything is in the process. 

The power of having time to myself to just breathe, sip my coffee, and go deep within myself for a little while was really powerful and there were a few things that became apparent:1.

What @George Azita said is ludicrous as a whole, there are bad agents who have commission breath, but good real estate agents on the buyer side aren't trying to hustle you into any property as an investor (that would be short-sighted), they try to make sure it's a great deal so you keep buying.

Yesterday I met the new tenants at their future home to hand them the keys and go over the operating basics for their home, gas, water, electric, filters etc.

Now we could take a breath. 

@Dan Brewer   could not agree with your points more... obviously you have experince in the space.. its those that do not have experience in the space that have a very high mortality rate as investors.Those that do well like some have posted live it and breath it.. its their JOB...not a passive investment from one's barcolounger in San Fernando valley  :)

That stuff is really bad to breathe in.If you decide to take it down yourself spray the ceiling with water and let it sit for a little bit.

Most of the photos will be resized and used only on-line I imagine, so while sharpness is important, every lens is good and sharp enough to produce photos for use on-line.Why not http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sigma-10-20mm-F4-5-6-EX-DC-HSM-Wide-Lens-Nikon-w-3-Piece-Filters-Case-/130602758272?

Of course once I do that, I can repsectively filter / sort the highest to lowest, instantlly giving me the best deal by the "numbers".The one problem this leads too is it does not factor in repairs.
