You need to keep in touch with various smaller local banks as their programs will change from time to time. 

@Jon PitcherBack to my first question about removing the tenant (1 of 3) off the lease, if we can't get in touch with him to sign anything or to get the key back.  

I will keep trying and when I come up with something I will be in touch again.

I read some articles on how to analyze but getting comps and checking on title are my main issues.Evaluating a deal - after reading up some posts, I got in touch with an experienced realtor to get me sale and rental comps on properties (along with his advise) but this realtor is busy and takes 1-2 days to turn around.

Message me on here and we can get in touch about how we might work together.

@Leslie Pappas Has also touched upon another option.

I have family in the area of both rentals that drive past and the landscaping people also keep me in touch with curbside appearance issues.

I am a 24 year old who graduated college with about $30,000 in student loan and pay-day loan debt and will be acquiring about another $20,000 in loans to obtain my MBA.
