If you are able to lock up deals and you mess up the repair estimate (like most wholesalers), no one is going to buy it and you will be buying too high.

The combination of high costs and the after-repair value (ARV) frequently leads me to conclude that buying a new rental property is a better use of capital.

Flipping on a land lease with high HOA fees = challenges that could impact profitability. $700/month HOA fee may deter buyers, elongating your resale timeline, and could push your ARV closer to the lower end of your range.
