I just have to balance the level of inconvenience I am willing to assume....and it isn't much. :)@Dick Rosen - Seems fair....I may just have to go with that. 

If I list my own residential fixer upper, I get TONS of emails from people "interested" in it, so many sometimes that I can never respond to all of them.  

I find distress houses in a high end community...Naples, Fl and wonder if there are anyone of you that buy/flip these houses in the upper price range.Some friends feel that the prices for these distress houses are way to high.  

Sometimes the persistence has to rise to the level of becoming a community reform leader (New Worry for Home Buyers: A Party House Next Door), but the end outcome can be positive.In my case, a carpet was installed after my noisy neighbor moved out, which provided half the solution, and subsequent neighbors were reminded about the quiet hours at the time they signed the lease, which provided the other half (these people also had the attitude of wanting to get along with their neighbors and kept their noise down as a result).

I'm definitely understanding that I should probably be a bit looser on this detail in the early stages... and open up to more detailed analysis once I know it passes the first level of tests.But I will say that doing this deal analysis each morning has been SUPER educational.

I think everyone here does it a little differently, but I typically have a higher capital expenditure reserve in the beginning (10-20% of rent) until the reserve balance hits a comfortable level. 

It can switch back and forth but each turn must be level.

Our current focus is on finding a multi family property in the Fishtown/Kensington/Port Richmond, University City, Germantown/Mount Airy, and Clifton Heights/Drexel Hill/Upper Darby using the analysis methods taught by Bigger Pockets, and using it as a gateway into more properties in the future.

We are the wealthiest generations ever, yet we fight with higher levels of depression and prescription pills than any generation before us.

I have seen some of them in that price level.
