As David said, for a SFR, that effort is overkill and all too often, those starting out get bogged down with spreadsheets, tablet applications, digital 3D renderings and in doing so, loose focus on what the point is - get in at the right price, get it done for the right price in the right time and cash in on the way out. 

@Clay Smith You're speaking in another language.

Sean,These lots are along Black Creek in Clay County. 

A good Ocala property manager is also a fellow BP member, Clay Lehman of Resolute Property Management.

Thanks Clay.

Flipping is definitely doable in El Paso, it was named the most affordable city in the nation, so it's getting a lot of exposure from out of state investors (Specially CA) FYI.The most important part of a flip is buying it right, location does matter - I have heard horror stories of flippers that come from other cities and want to implement the same strategies they did back home and they end up sitting on their property because they either bought too expensive, or in the wrong neighborhood, or invested too heavily in finishes that the comps of the neighborhood simply didn't have.Study.I suggest you read the book Flip by Clay D. if you are set with that strategy.Also, be aware of costs, I know a lot of wholesalers that are clueless with the costs and just throw a random rehab number to the investor with the hopes they will sell the property.Find a great realtor that is also an investor, I became one myself since I struggle to get the right guidance - there aren't many out there that are familiar with the construction and investing side if the industry.Don't think you will make a ton of money on your first flip, be happy if you are able to walk away without a loss, I can guaranteed tho that you will LEARN a ton, and that is what you NEED right now.Regarding the so called "Recession" I believe it's more a consumer's belief through influence of media showcasing the tariffs war etc, what we really now is that for it to hit us - RE investors - there has to be an alarming increase of foreclosures which guess what? 

@Laura HinesThis is what I was looking at https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1168-SW-Clay-St-Topeka-KS-66604/77506070_zpid/

@Lia Locarnini While researching please keep in mind high TX property taxation as it effects cash flow and that certain locations have foundation issues due to clay soil.
