I know depending on where an investor is in their fix and flip journey and the market this will vary, but Im curious because I feel like this is important when it comes to a good deal since some investors might not mind making less to have more doors. 

In your example, $250 in utility bills is much cheaper than $2500 to fix frozen-pipe damages!

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Off-market property is the best option for fix and flip, but since you are planning to live and flip, some on-market properties would also work.

By spreading the investment horizon across decades, this initiative builds resilience into its model.

If not you need to fix that asap. 7.

I do have a small shop with equipment that I use exclusively in fixing my rentals.   

The houses are sold very cheap, however to fix them up, you are usually investing about $30k-$100k to make them livable.
