For example you can't be building in a neighborhood where houses are selling for $150 sqft when the cost to build is $105.. to me not enough meat on the bone.

We often tell them to stick to A/B class where there's more meat on the bone (and more exposure), so they can find that forced appreciation.  

Otherwise, there won't be enough "meat on the bone" for you to make money and for your Buyer to be interested. 

I would add the 1 important factor of building an accurate correct pricing strategy, one that leaves enough "meat on the bone" so it is worth the time and risk of the flipper. 

So when you are dealing with motivated sellers, you will be able  to make an offer that is satisfactory (fair) to the seller, the buyer will have enough meat left on the bone, and you can get your fee as well.Mind you, questions like these only come from people that don't have this basic understanding.

Buyer has enough meet on the bone and seller gets the house sold at a fair price and you get the assignment you deserve.3.

The best way is to have a great deal with pounds of juicy meat left on the bone. 

If I find a single family by a college town with good bones and the right price... why not.
