For investors with slightly different goals than you/Ben, the “$250-$300 is all that works” statement simply is too simplistic.To start splitting hairs, ROC isn’t the only metric that matters- time and effort matters too- popping in a high tech Alexa enabled thermostat is a quick repair, but adding a backsplash takes a decent amount of time, even if the rental premium and cost were the same.

When I moved, I found work as a Property Manager with a tech-enabled PM company that managed over 700 units in Metro Detroit. 

A one-year lease enables you to plan for the next year and sign renewals or new leases during the peak season when it's easier to rent for market rate.I have a termination clause and tenants have to pay a fee to terminate early.

@Carlos Aquino the main goal when wholesaling is to buy a property enough below market value, to enable you to mark it up slightly and sell your contract to buy it, to someone else - essentially making a finder's fee.The most common method to do so is finding a property that needs fixing, but that's by no means the only way.
