What about any renovations that need to be done to get the home to saleable quality...you can always get bids from contractors, inspectors etc..your goal is to make the home look like a bad deal for anybody, especially for the previous homeowners who will lose money in the long run if they foreclose on the home (or at least you want them to think so)If they ask you why you want the home so bad...just tell them that it fits your criteria...size, bed/bad etc...Hope that helps.

Everydeal is different but for the most part with great credit (at least over 680) and $ down, you should be able to pull a one time close which helps bring your closing cost for both loans somewhere in the 2500-4000 range of course depending on the size of your loan, so on and so forth.

If those are all comparable in terms of size, beds, baths, style, and location, I'd guess your value at the low end of that range.

I only have SFH, and the tenants are responsible for yard maintenance, but I know that lawn mowing, just mowing, is $35-$50 each time, depending on the size of the yard.And yes, landscapers put much less than minimum wage workers in charge of 10's of thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

Next best thing that makes me actually a #4, I have 5 years REI experience, and I know exactly how to optimize a house for its size, location, and what to do or where to get materials at rock bottom.

Generate a cash flow from the current house...you didn't mention the size but it sounds like the monthly rent would cover the PITI.
