Of course, data can provide an initial birds-eye-view of whether a property might or might not be a viable investment.

DO NOT depend on google sat view for info...go 100% in person. 

I assume I cannot check it.I'm going to make the last attempt to get lease agreement out of K by e-mailing her, and if it doesn't work I'll have to find another way to get it or work around it trying to clean up the mess.I view the house as both cash flow and - more important - long-term investment.

We viewed the property, spoke with the owner, let him know that even though the property needed work, I thought the location was solid, but that the tenants in place were going to be a big problem, but that I would be in touch to see if anything changed.  

With the recent tax law changes, you can only 1031 real property so from that point of view as long as you stay within the asset class you will be fine. 

Can I appoint a sponsor to represent this transaction, while myself and the investor stay out of view of the underwriting team?
