They took a picture that didn't show anything, and apparently the removed insulation, which my realtor said could indicate there was some mold. 

They key is figuring out what YOUR goals are and how to execute.

I am also considering out of state turn-key investments in better cash flow markets. 

By the way, if you just want to pull equity out of your current home - I got a 90% LTV home equity line from Key Bank (they go even higher than 90%!)

If their rental agreements indicate that the property owner will pay for certain utilities, then you can at least understand the rent roll a bit more.P.S.

A friend of a friend of a friend has put me in touch with a local realtor there that she promises will be low key :)  We'll see what price they come up with using comps.  

There are a couple of key questions to ask that can make a difference in reaching your goals on this property. 

Does the supra box/key work in both markets?

But it might possible to get a list of homes that have city or county violations and that will sometimes be an indicator that property is vacant.
