I have have seen several "bad" appraisals and it is near impossible to dispute them. 

I grew up in the bay area and it was impossible for me to find anything that made sense numbers wise. 

Getting the money due to the association from the deadbeat owners is basically impossible.  

I’m from South Florida and everyone there in real estate is telling me it’s impossible to find a good deal.

The inspection contingency is a key element to the contract and almost impossible to execute without this feature.

@Raj G. definitely not impossible to find cash flowing properties even in this high-priced environment.

Again, it is impossible to comment specifically with the details you provided. 

Not trying to brag but just putting it out there that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

Buying for equity while relying on cash flow is HARD and in our market is almost impossible to find unless you purchase a BRRR home which is too is pretty hard to find. 

Brian, I don't think investors WANT to see 50 or 100 houses before they make an offer but I would make a couple of points:1) As I tell my life partner "you have to kiss a lot of toads" before you find the right one but this is related to how you find the home...meaning if it is on the MLS - typically harder to find a deal although not impossible, if you drive for dollars you might have to look a lot of owners up but if you get to the point to see one odds start to flow in your favor2) If what you refer to is being a newbie and trying to understand what a good deal is or is not and if you have the time, touring that many properties to get an idea of value is fine.I have a w2 job and family so never had the time to specifically look at 100 properties with no intention to buy --  this is in no way a requirement.
