Is there new construction in the area, especially industrial, which might adversely affect the value of the homes?

Being emotional connected to various properties, because they were 1st acquisition or maybe once lived in one, first flipped one etc etc, and being adverse to the necessary action to scale, leaving considerable capital locked up in equity.

I tend to be pretty risk adverse and run away from run-down properties because I prefer to stay as passive as possible, but I admit there'd be a lot more opportunities out there if I could open my aperture a bit.  

In most states it is required to send an adverse action / notice of denial of some sort, with details on the reason(s) for denial and details on how to obtain the credit report (or just credit reporting agency) on which the decision was based.

If you are risk adverse real estate, (especially out of state) is not for you.

@jayhinrichs just because someone has a different job than you doesn't make it any more or less valuable.Most ppl are adverse to change and adaptation, wholesaling is a niche, I assume you and I are in very different spaces, that doesn't mean either of us is incorrect in our mission for our businesses. the point of all this is to learn, not cast dispersions upon one another, this is a village, Jay, it's simple.

It's not a strategy for the risk adverse, it hammers your credit scores in the short term, but I made it work...

I will take on something if I’m only 70% sure , I have the faith to not see the staircase and I am ok with just seeing the first step . they tend to be too risk adverse and doubt can be very expensive ! 

There is opportunity in every market and when adversity comes you need to lean in rather than pull back.

Some varieties of mold are toxic and may cause adverse reactions in certain individuals."
