You give vague answers to specific questions.For example, when someone asks about potential rent, and they provide enough information for you, don't respond with an extensive range.

It's not a real common concept here in DFW area, but I love it.Buyers have no downtime, no rent rate risk, lower vacancy risk, potentially instant cash flow day 1. 

But if you’re going into a 7% loan with little cashflow or appreciation potential I would look for a different buy box. 

In your case, it sounds like a similar story.. you identified a property with potential, tackled the structural work, and brought it back to life in a way that justifies a higher price.

Bought it as a potential long term / medium term rental but now are looking to just flip it!

Higher/lower potential?

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

Just like when evaluating a potential purchase you should be performing the same due diligence with rents.

Focus on STR-friendly areas like Newburgh or Highland Lakes, and use platforms like AirDNA to assess revenue potential.

Look for properties with value-add potential, plan renovations carefully, and use tools like the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to analyze deals.
