I've exhausted my conforming Fannie/Freddie backed loans (10) so the deal numbers must be better than every deal I've done to date to work at commercial/portfolio loan interest rates and shorter amortization periods.
Great points! To expand on that, what I think is an additional value is your time. You may want to find a W-2 flipper or wanna be flipper who can't drive for dollars, see neighborhoods, analyze trends, speak with residents, visit with CPAs, contractors, power team members etc during the day. You have something valuable which I don't as someone with a day job: the freedom to go do what you will with your day and handle day time business operations. That's what I think you're niche strength is.
