I got out of stick built investing about 10 years ago when I started owner financing mobile homes, since then the regulations, fees and licensing requirements concerning mobile homes has just gotten more and more onerous, so I liquidated and got out.

What are current investors looking for structure-wise in a flip these days? For instance, if I lock a property up with paper, what would be considered passable numbers? 65% ARV seems to be what I remember as a magic threshold for most investors.

I realize my question is highly subjective and vague, but I figure it's at least a good starting point for conversation.
