No house is perfect and it is a matter of know what needs to be fixes vs what doesn't suite your taste.

Unless you all have very similar taste/style, think the same way about investing, negotiating, etc... the odds are stacked against you that you would all ever agree enough to even close on a property. 

It is a matter of personal taste,  Study the sub field that excites you the most. 

My experience with a city left a bad taste in my mouth.

Some of the things they wanted done would either cost a fortune to do tastefully or take away the character of the house.FHA requires very little money down so they want to be sure every toilet flushes and none of the doors stick it seems.

Hey Jon,Yes you are correct that it is somewhat over personalized with my wifes taste so we probably only get 8% of buyers that it somewhat appeals to.No smell of dogs they are trained and house is always clean.

I've bought a handful of wholesale guides and courses and none of them talk about it (Bill Bronchick's does but there's still not enough info on it for my taste) So we go out there and do what these courses are telling us to do and get laughed at and generate a bad reputation.

You have to be patient and have self-control and it will pay off big rather than blowing through everything in the moment when you get a taste of success.There is not a set percentage.

The guy certainly sounds like a sleazebag, but there is too much anti-flipper rhetoric in the story for my taste.

Portland might be a little too cold for Rich's taste.
