For primary residence #3, we bought in the path of progress; so, not a live in flip per se but similar in that we will get high organic appreciation and also add value through easy rehab such as refinishing floors and railings, replacing fixtures, improving landscaping, upgrading tile, etc.

But, if I lose money on deals, and I definitely have, it is my sole fault for either getting the numbers wrong, or things going sideways with rehab, or the market changing while rehab was in progress. 

I used to try and limit the customer's time talking with me on the jobsite....I pointed out to them that jobsite progress slowed down when they showed up, and started chatting with everyone, and that the project completion date was going to be pushed back.

So in these historical areas you not only have to work with the city but also the historical societies.I don't think that any construction that the city approves they will later shut down while in progress.
