What’s Important to me is understand the tenant pool.

My understanding is that the ballpark standard of "unless it would be outrageously tough" (something along those lines) is what applies if you're doing a rehab, seeking new permits, doing structural changes anyways, and things of that nature.For existing pre-ADA structures, my understanding is that the standard is more along the lines of "if it can be easily/cheaply done, you have to do it."

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about this topic which surprises me since I feel like personal finance people talk about HSAs all the time! 

You'll learn what contractors are good at such repairs, and eventually people will start bringing you "problem properties" with that issue.Another related idea: contact a good local realtor and ask them if they know of any on or off market properties that would be a hard sell for most buyers. 

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

Hey there @Michael Labudzki - Can you help me understand your situation better...- Do you have 200-250k cash, or is that what you can get with your loan amount?

It looks like I’m going against the grain with out of state flips but still want to understand the full picture.So in your opinion how should I find my rock star contractor?

People don't read STR descriptions you see this alot with international properties where people expect US standards.

For me as well as the seller.First, you have to define Sub to financing.Do you mean the reckless kind where you overpay for a property, take over the financing and borrow from others to cover closing costs and holding costs when you have no money, no credit, no income, no reserves and can't tell a warranty deed from a deed of trust and you close on the kitchen counteror do you meanbuying below market value, already having a nice income, having reserves, using escrow and title, already understanding the due on sale clause, have done a lot of creative purchases and know when to use and when not to use creative finance and how to recover if something goes amiss?

We always check the assessor as we see people trying to boost unit count when it's not actually true.
