I have come across a deal for a single family home in a town that we are moving to. My wife and I will be occupying the house for 1-3 years while I build my business and we find a house that we really want (possibly build). The low payment will help me keep expenses low and is much less than we can even rent for.

3 bed 2 bath house that is 1,390sq/ft in a good neighborhood. Comparable houses around it are listed for 104k to 115k and this one is listed for 60k. It is listed by an agent but I imagine that it is bank owned from a foreclosure.

I am just beginning research on this property and the process of evaluating a property for a rental. I have financing lined up via a family member that will cover this amount.

Anyone have anything to add that I might miss in my quick research. We are going to look at the house this Saturday. This is completely out of my expertise (what isn't these days?).
