I'm in New York but the prices (at least downstate) are much too high for me to make my first deal so looking more upstate and out of state. 

If you want to quote out high efficiency boilers for six Tripple deckers for example requiring installation of separate gas, meters etc. etc. - that might be a situation where you would want to work with a contractor directly because you would have lots of different options with widely varying costs.

High risk areas.  3.

Don't put a high list price based on what you want, needs to be based on solds

Also showing almost a 20% CoC return, which in my research I've found to be a highly ideal number for investors.Is there something I could improve on with this report or fix?

There was a news reporter at the sale and they interviewed the high bidder, who admitted that they had not seen the property, but were certain that they would be building their family home there. 

I agree with the other posters...25% down seems a bit high.

I think your correct though folks have to adjust to the new normal and the interest rates they are not coming down like folks hoped for I think we are in for a run of years were rates will be more like the 2000s  6 to 7% and Owner occ in the 5s with Maybe some high 4s. but by the time folks wait for that prices will rise in the better markets.

The rates are high right now but these loans are limited based on cashflow so you cant take a loan that costs more than you're receiving in rental income.
