Hi Ursula,Even though this post is a few months old, I thought I’d chime in just in case you’re still working through this or for future projects.

@Tanner Davis If you want to pursue either a fix/flip or BRRRR strategy, it sounds like you might need to find a partner/investor that knows you well and believes enough in you as a person to invest money in a project. 

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

Generally larger commercial properties and shopping centers are easier to classify with hard and fast rules, but to the points above the residential areas really move very quickly and have way more nuance than most people care to admit.zip codes are generally way too large for my liking at least in my market to provide any kind of insights other than macro level economics but even then highways or rivers that cut through a zip code can end up with totally different trade areas.we can get pretty granular with cellphone data and with grocery center data to understand the trade areas and their true boundaries, but that kind of data pull is generally only cost effective for investors doing larger scale projects or developments, and honestly we still just end up getting on the ground and feeling it out, so I generally tell people that the money is better spent on a plane ticket and weekend trip in the area you are looking rather than any kind of "trade area" level data studies.and generally B class in 1 area means something different than another. 

Draws are almost always held back until you reach certain points in the project or that work is completed.

Maintaining a financial track record for your project is facilitated by effective budgeting.3.

In real estate its messy and there are always repairs and capX projects that seemingly pop up from time to time.

My job is our sole income and I get relocated for projects frequently so any property would have to be managed remotely (willing to invest anywhere in the states).Given the our situation above and our long term goals, I feel best next steps would be a heavy emphasis on networking and deal analysis.

If you haven’t already, make sure you’ve documented everything thoroughly—photos, messages, invoices—and highlight the guest’s negligence, like leaving windows and doors open in extreme weather.If you haven’t heard back after asking to escalate, follow up again and politely but firmly request that a senior claims specialist review the case.

What is the current return you are getting and what are the projected returns or plans with it, etc?
