I’d suggest you dig into the numbers, compare it to what a regular sale would give you, and talk to someone who specializes in this type of deal.

I am very interested in real estate investing and flipping (I have a decent amount of construction experience) I was wondering what some good resources are to look at when evaluating a property, especially in the Dayton / Cincinnati area.  

I would suggest making some calls.

Wonder whether people have seen similar trends.I also wonder how people feel about Ashford WA, vs Packwood, WA.

I suggest you check out Chad Griffiths and Jonathan Hayek.  

Honestly if you are doing STR I would suggest doing Austin itself rather than all the way out there in Kyle - maybe a couple of years ago when the prices were through the roof in Austin city itself this would be a good alternative but there is a blip right now where you can get a god entry point in Austin (downtown/east ideally) for STR

There’s no shortage of properties that could benefit from your expertise, and using your team during slower periods is a smart way to build equity and maximize returns.If you’re considering your first project, I’d suggest looking at duplexes in Belton, MO.

I am wondering if this is a good deal I will be paying

Are you wondering more about the financials of it or operations? 

While I don't know the nuances of the market, I do have a client that's a real estate investor and agent in Phoenix that could probably give you some suggestions.
