If it's a newer company,  and projected to grow, you might consider their projected discounted cash flows to evaluate the company.

I haven't really heard about investing in the area, haven't found any local realtors or lenders that are "investor friendly," and I'm not sure I have enough equity (or cash) to finance a brrrr (or similar project). 

MY wife and I aren't some sort of big time multi family real estate agents, but we have done a deal or two a year and have had some success just starting simple (we started by house hacking a duplex), and have incrementally increased our projects. 

I've also had one potential tenant tell me that "an income requirement of 3x the monthly rent basically disqualifies single-income families".

It will firm up quotes from the subcontractors, make your contracts much stronger  and also make the project move far smoother with better communication between the trades and reduce the risk of change orders. 

Looking forward to hearing about your projects. 

They've already basically banned them years ago, except for special "resort zones". 

Hi Josh, Additionally, consider building conservative assumptions into your financial projections to account for potential market fluctuations, economic uncertainties, and unforeseen challenges.

Hi Stefan, Finding a passive money partner for your real estate investments, particularly for fix-and-flip projects, can be a fantastic way to leverage additional capital while spreading the risk.

I am uncertain how to project what rent will be for over the next 10 YEARS!
