For me personally, I would prefer a stable tenant since the high returns on paper don't always work out in real life.

For example, If you CoC on a property would be say 10% if both sides of a double are rented, how should the numbers work out to make sense if the owner is living in half?

Good luck, I'm guessing everything is going to work out just fine. 

@Sammi Liu when investing out of state I personally believe in using a property management company if the numbers work out. 10% monthly rent

Also, join the FB page for Propstream, they do a weekly training session (no charge) that shows you exactly how to use their tools and there are many.

If your siblings are ok with your plan, it should not be that difficult to work out.

I would guess 90% of these offers don't work out....but I have had lots of tenants ask and some investors sell to the tenants I put in the properties. 

Work out all the details, low interest etc and see what they say.That would get them out of the place and give you a way to get the property.

No need to waste anyone's time :) Takes 5 minutes to call listing agent and say hey I'm coming in at this price no inspection, as is...will you entertain this offer or is the seller very firm.I've gotten offers 20% off list but that's because like @Jonathan Greene said they had been on the market over 90 days.Keep your expectations low on this one lol not likely to work out but once again always worth calling the listing agent.

After 4 months he only completed $2550 (paying him full price for shoddy work) out of a 19k contract.
