My goal is to scale my flipping business to 10+ homes a year and I'm starting to wonder how viable that is in my area.

We are a boutique firm in Chattanooga and every agent in our firm is personally involved in either real estate development, owns investment properties or flips homes. 

Self managed HOAs are usually undercapitalized so you want to take a thorough review of the condition of the community to make sure there isn’t deferred maintenance because you might get hit with a special assessment if the board isn’t setting aside cash for those capital improvements.At face value, taking into consideration my typical financial objectives, I wouldn’t do this deal unless it was a much lower price.

Nearly all home and auto insurance carriers rely on this database.However, if you have a commercial policy, claims are not reported to CLUE.

Yes there are broker's out there that also don't do good business, but they typically work with clients that do not know any better. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My company builds and sells single family homes in SW Florida.

Personally I consider it to be more of a entry level neighborhood for first time home buyers and a blue collar neighborhood for long term renters.

I started with a single-family home and it gave me a solid foundation without too much risk.

Do you know how much the typical bills have been in the past?
