Take your time to get to know the city, it's a city of neighborhoods some blocks maybe really nice but a few blocks away you'll want to stay in your car.

Remember at that end it's your head on the chopping block

You don’t know who has access to this information.

Then I try to gain access to asses the ARV. 

You may have other income sources or access to people who can co-sign a loan etc., but based on the numbers you provided, I predict you will have a VERY hard time qualifying for a big enough mortgage for a solid property in a solid neighborhood, let alone two.  

I have a feeling she is going to stop helping me soon, I'll need to get licensed so I have MLS access.

And to gain access, you need a realtor to get the code and do the showing for you.  

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.

Learning out-of-state investing gives me access to deals across the entire U.S.Lastly, what happens when you want to move to the Florida Keys and retire?
