hey all.did a BRRRR last year and learned _a tonnnnn_.still wanting to do BRRRR as our general strategy, but have come across a potential flip. wanted to see what some of your rules of thumb are concerning profit, margin, etc.my moderate analyses are putting me at ~$30k when all is said and done on a $350k sale. is that decent?

@Josh Haney search here on BP for a three part series we did on "How to Screen a Property Manager better than a tenant"Can't share the link because one of the over-active moderators will chastise us for "self-Promotion":(

An example is a lender pulls a report that says the property is in a high-risk flood zone and will require the purchase of flood insurance to give the buyer a loan if they are working with a flood insurance nerd and when he pulls the report it is in a low to moderate flood zone (usually an X but can be a B, C, or shaded X).

Moderately restored, but furnace replacement and some roof work could be imminent. 

If you have to choose between two markets: one that's showing LOTS OF POTENTIAL FOR APPRECIATION but only moderate cash flow opportunities, or a market that has properties with HIGH CASH FLOW POTENTIAL, but limited opportunity for appreciation, which one do you prefer?

It has to be moderately safe because of the university, no? 

I think i'm missing something in the REI mindset/ path...If your first duplex is 500k how do you then get another property? Do you just keep counting your pennies until you have another 20% saved (10-15 years later....

The multi will cash flow, moderately for the ten years.

Even assuming the property appreciates moderately and the home is paid-off in 30 years, this beats the market?

You can expect high cashflow and low to moderate appreciation in Baltimore.
