I have made a lot of money doing BRRRR and the majority of my purchases have achieved the infinite return.  

Yet, I regularly correct major errors made on tax returns by HRB people and even by CPAs.

It was a good learning experience, but it made me realize that staying away from major rehabs (for now) might be the best move until I have a more reliable system in place.That said, having family in the area like your sister and brother-in-law is a huge advantage!

I prefer to stay further from the coast and hopefully further from major storm/flooding events (potentially lower insurance costs).  

Philly, like a lot of major US cities, is very block by block.

I have my own designs and after uploading them and sending them out for a few rounds of marketing I eventually received some un-deliverables and they were barely legible along with their being major defects during printing.

For us that's 15% off the top line I definitely am not familiar with a majority of the US but why would a host take occupancy taxes off the top?

A majority of real estate investment properties are held in an LLC.

Columbus also has great macroeconomics - lots of job growth, population growth, and major employers developing here.

The majority is RE agents & associates desperate for business, predatory and awful.
