On commercial deals your lender probably will require less leverage...maybe 40% down. 

If you're confident in your numbers and that the property isn't going to require more to reach a $350k price point go for it.

We learned the importance of precise budgeting, as managing $30,000 in renovations required careful oversight.

The main challenge was ensuring a smooth transaction, which required precise coordination and efficient execution.

I’ve been doing that with a few market recently, I try to spend a week just online trying to figure out the different boundaries/different neighborhoods, what the dividing lines are, what type of housing stock is there (I only focus on post ww2 brick for instance) than figure what the yields are in these areas, and then decide if the yields are decent enough on risk adjusted basis to bother to invest.

Correct prep work still required.
