In most of the country they are not, and therefore building a sustainable model is not likely...Cash Flow = financial freedomNet Worth = wealthAny conversation relative to which is better or more important is matter of personal objectives - no?

Which leaves cheap credit and investors, neither of which I'd consider a long term, sustainable, underlying fundamental.  

Or is the area more well rounded with lots of micro-economies employing people in diversified industries allowing for a more sustainable workforce that better supports the housing market.

If you are just looking for appreciation, and can sustain a break even or slightly negative cashflow, then Garner may have some opportunity for you. 

(Think they should've name the division Flippow...)Also, is this at all sustainable? 

ASSUMING the area will sustain it, I would upgrade the house and try to get more money to get that cashflow, not refi. 

If **** happens like there tire got flat or their kid was sick so they were late, I always resonate I don't throw a tantrum like I see others do.

You also need to see if the area is in a bubble or if the prices are sustainable.  

If you are still not convinced, keep in mind that homes with sustainable features also have the added benefit of having lower holding costs.When fixing and flipping a property, the end goal should always be about making the best looking and most functional property with the least amount of capital expenditure.

Everything said above resonates.
