The era of "everything prints money on Airbnb" is LONG GONE! 

I helped a client purchase an SFH fixer with a detached garage.

I am a new real-estate investor looking at flipping properties in a higher end neighborhood. I was hoping someone with some experience would be able to answer a few questions I have, such as: What kind of deal finding...

I would work on credit.

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Single Family Residence holding on to.

Also, stay away from Insula Capital AKA Atlantic Capital Holdings out of New York (Long Island) I didn't lose $200,000 but lost $10,000 plus on a deal they gave us a funding letter for $300,000 cash for a flip we were purchasing.

Purchase price: $172,000 Cash invested: $43,000 We purchased this rehabbed home and added a privacy fence, removed overhanging trees, finished the countertops, built a firepit, security system, camera's, fixed the sidewalk and turned it into an airbnb.

You'll want to take a spreadsheet and create a list of all properties you've purchased...particularly in the last 36 months and include the address, lender, purchase date, either rent you receive or disposition date, how much you sold it for, how much you rehabbed it, etc.

If so they may have a real estate license or they may work with an agent that relies on repeat business rather than a one-off purchase. 

On my property above I'm prep'ing to build a new unit...you could arguably say that changes the nature of the use...and it likely does.
