Even including modest appreciation and equity pay down, the ROI is between 7% and 12% for a non passive holding (not good for an active holding)I can easily afford this level of negative, but do I want to?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but such P/E levels are not sustainable and be considered an expansionary or growth cycle.This does not mean a hard crash is imminent, but it does mean the dollar will be significantly weaker for certain just how it gets there is anyone's guess. 

I can say this particular seller also is looking for a property w/in 30 minutes of (the middle between massanutten and harrisonburg), so 30 minutes from there is where he is looking and wants a fixer upper or not, but is willing to pay 300k cash for an off market property.

It's probably taken you quite some time to develop a level of aptitude through experience, and it's most likely, well deserved.

@Elisha JohnstonFrom my experience, San Antonio is a great market for cash flow, with entry-level homes typically ranging from $200K to $250K and steady appreciation around 3-5% annually.

Slowly build out a repeatable process...if you continue to change things (as in different types of properties, different levels of renovation, different finish material, different neighborhoods, etc.) you create more variables and make it harder to solve to the problem.I am a math guy and less unknowns/variables you have the easier the problem will be to solve.
