As I'm sure you know living in the Bay Area is pricey and deals seem very slim, so I feel like most deals out here come from finding creative ways to make the deals work like adding an ADU.

Once you get into the areas where the ARV's are less than 100k your margin for error is more slim and sometimes tougher to get that chunk of equity you need to be able to pull all/most of your cash back out.

Unfortunately, there is no specific list of activities or magic pill that is guaranteed to make you money as a RE investor.

I think Id adjust about $100k for the road.Im not sure what you have it under contract for....but I think the profit here might be pretty slim. 

When that "program" is active in the business that is being taught, your chance of receiving an independent, comprehensive education is slim and none.

I kept an open mind and continued to plow forward when the picking was slim, and it has paid huge dividend.

Looks to me like this deal might be a bit on the slim side, but you will have to make that determination.

slim pickings at 30k.  

@Jeffrey Jenkins,That's going to depend on why the house is vacant.REOs can be a challenge to wholesale unless you buy them from the lender and then resell them without improvements for a slim profit.Absentee owners may have multiple issues with their property such as pending foreclosure, tax sale and/or other liens.One possible niche, I suppose, might be to buy properties from rehabbers who fail if you can get the right price.Then, of course, there's always divorce and probate / estate liquidation, each of which will have its own challenges.

The pickins have been so slim in Cobb.
