Meaning lets say a deal arv is 100k that is 65k.

Let's say a plumber needs to paint a couple rooms on his rental.

What did the inspector say? A

Since Ive been looking at loans, it appears that if I was to buy say a single unit for the purpose as an investment to rent out, I would need 20% down... but if I was buying the unit as my primary residence You can qualify for a MUCH lower down payment depending on your income. 

@Nadine Delille I agree with @Sam Shueh, I would say a large majority of people with a realtor's license are not realtors full time. 

Say your doing a wholesale deal and let's say a lead has about $150,000 in equity and has a principal balance on the property of $100,000.

Personally I think it's tough to say a "good or bad" investment based on the zipcode alone.

What's your exit plan....If you have say a 30 year roof that's 10 years old and you're going to sell it in 10 years or less... then maybe you don't need to factor in a new roof as if you were going to keep it say 20 years. 

Cash flow markets can be great for the right goals, but principal pay down alone, in say a Portland property, can out produce the cash flow of say an Indianapolis market alone.
