my best advice is to skip the flipping.

You're reading a 10 chapter book and tryin to skip the first 4. 

Even small touches like repainting the front door, adding some planters, or pressure washing the driveway can make a huge difference.Final ThoughtsI’d say skip the full sprinkler system for now, make cost-effective improvements that boost curb appeal, and focus on getting that property moving.

The tried and true version is pulling a list of properties whether you're targeting distressed homes or high equity homes in which case you can pull on something like Propstream or Propwire, you can skip trace through them or someone like Prime Tracers which has a pay as you go system.

If the deal fits your parameters then go for it, otherwise skip it and find another.
