These factors contribute to each opportunity possessing unique characteristics for every investor, in addition to the learning gained throughout the process

a good deal for a SFH flip would be the buyer being ALL IN at absolute max 80% of the ARV (including the PP, renovations, assignment fee, closing costs), but a lot of investors would say it has to be max 75%, 70%, maybe even 65%. that said, shoot for 65%, and know your renovation costs. i've used $65/sqft for a gut reno, and until proven otherwise i'm assuming it's a gut job, BUT that PPSF is not always accurate, sometimes there are unique issues with the property that would drive that number way up. it gives you a place to start, though. 

Contacts I've have and done deals with I reach out to when a big client is looking for something specific and has a unique set of problems that require some work to solve but have a big upside when you know the process from A-Z and how optimize a deal.

Take all your top competitors' reviews and have ChatGPT analyze them for amenities and see if it would be unique to you. 

Just like they project sports teams on how many wins they will get each year.

@Robert Mendenhall I feel like Columbus is a uniquely positioned market right now.

Since he has moved in, there has been a myriad of sports cars and expensive motorcycles that have adorned the driveway.

Is it a unique setting? 

it's possible but unlikely. a great CPA who specializes in REI will be able to help you plan AHEAD for tax time and use different pieces of the tax code to your advantage, based on your unique situation, and ultimately save you way more in the long run. would you rather pay $750 to have a return done & get a $5,000 return, or pay $30 to have a return done and owe $5,000?

I've navigated similar paths and found that each offers unique challenges and rewards.
