If not, don't bother digging deeper. 

If you have a leaky roof, people can't get traditional financing and most people will discount the value on the home more than the actual cost of the repair.The power of BRRRR is that you're buying a distressed property at a substantial discount.With that last point in mind, if you see a house for $100k with substantial issues that can only be purchased with cash or a rehab loan, that allows you to negotiate a deeper discount.Let's assuming they take $80k for all cash and a quick close.

I do think you might be able to find some better cashflowing deals if you dig a bit deeper (my bro in laws own Fogle Brother's flooring and one of them has deals all the time.

Happy to connect to dive deeper on the matter.

I think one of my biggest challenges will be determining which market to dive into.

It is a rough measure I use to decide if the property deserves a deeper look.

The deeper I get into business and investing, the more I realize using a CPA won't cut it.

Despite the pandemic changing my plans with regard to school, I think this time off would be such a great opportunity to dive into the universe of real estate investing.
