Everyone in Real Estate Investing knows that no two deals will work the same way, so a cookie cutter app will eliminate a lot of good deals because they don't know how to work with the investor.

I am looking for a cookie cutter house, and so I use cookie cutter numbers, so to speak.  

These are not cookie cutter transactions and an agents experience is valuable.  

Cookie cutter policies are usually out of touch and often don't address local needs. 

More accurate of you are looking at cookie cutter houses with tons or local comps, but still can be wrong because at the end of the day its a formula.What i really suggest doing is using redfins search to look at recently sold houses in the area.

And sometimes there isn't a solution other than the obvious and that is sometimes the way the cookie crumbles. 

For the most part, niches like this will be ones that fall into your lap because you're known as the guy that does things no one else does (and/or does the cookie cutter ones with greater efficiency), thus in turn causing folks out there to say "Oh, call Lee, if he can't do it then it can't be done."

I've had applicants offer to pay more, pay several months up front, bake me cookies, whatever they can think of to get me to approve them.

There are some very high end custom renovations going on in this area along with the more cookie cutter ones that still sell for good prices.

Yea I would definitely want to get a builder involved from my area, though a lot of the places in the are very cookie cutter and I would want something a little different, but yea I do not have a background in development so I would rely on others a lot more.
