The challenge is that the property only has a one-hour open house the day before the auction.Here are the details:•Opening bid: $100K•Hard money lender financing: Up to $220K (with my 20% deposit and 100% renovation costs covered)•Comps in the area: $485K–$510K•Estimated rehab (based on pictures): $125KObviously, this estimate could change significantly once I see the property.

Challenges?

I got recertified in the military on my weapon every 6 months and without regular practice and in a controlled environment I still had difficulty with the target.It gives many (not all) people a false sense of security, like they're going to pull out their weapon and go Steven Segal on the situation, when the most appropriate response most of the time is to exit the situation (run/hide/etc).There are reasonable alternatives to carrying a firearm that are at least worth considering for your particular situation. 

My challenge is that I’m struggling with figuring out if a property will be profitable or not, even though I've done research on sites like AirDNA and tried to analyze multiple factors.where Im stuck: 1. 

@Ryan KonenThat is a significant amount of leverage and can make it very challenging to make $ on.

However, it was challenging to get it fully occupied due to families etc that were looking for larger units.

Challenges?

I recommend hiring either a PM or even a listing agent who you pay a half a month to a month of rent to get the unit rented.Just so you are aware, these tenants are your customers hence if you make the application process challenging and tedious at the very forefront of the process, most people don't got time for that.

Negotiation Challenges: Risk of under-the-table deals with other buyers.Tips: Be aware of these risks and take steps to mitigate them.

I recently thought I found a great duplex but when a local agent toured the property for me, they didn't even feel safe which lead us to believe finding the right tenants would be a challenge.
