Me personally, I want at least 10-20% CoC but want higher if I am doing most of the work myself.I have been finding it harder to get good deals as of late so margins are much slimmer than I'd like.

Leaving me to go back to the drawingboard, with ever slimmer margins.It is worth providing some context to these purchases. 

The cheaper varieties tend to have slimmer edges that can pop out more easily.

You are correct though, cash flow is becoming slimmer and slimmer; practically non-existent in many parts of the city. 

My best guess is this was purchased cash by someone who can renovate very efficiently and who has slimmer margin requirements.I advise my clients interested in BRRRRing in Atl to direct a portion of their capital to a direct to seller campaign.

Twenty years ago the margins were a lot slimmer. 

So my biggest concern is that by the time the work ends up getting done, prices will have dropped (including my ARV) and lending will have tightened so getting money back out will be a much slimmer chance. 

If your goal, like many wholesalers, is $10k or more a deal, then yes, the market is much slimmer and you're working hard to make the numbers work and find buyers.

-focus on Inland Empire where I could basically do exactly what I want to do which is do light rehab and flip on the really good deals I get and wholesale the slimmer one's for a fee-move to Phoenix and basically have the same strategy as for Inland Empire.

This gives you a leg up on your competition as you can turn a profit on slimmer deals than they could.Networking.
