The biggest failures for flippers come in shortcuts.

@DuBeaux Dingle  The biggest things are the extra costs with condos or townhouses due to condo/HOA fees and how they are run/maintained. 

The biggest issue will be finding a lender that understands those parts of the rules and will make the loan.

The biggest advantage you can have is a buyers agent who is experienced with remodel and renting - you will catch 95% of the issues at the showing; the inspection you do after you have an accepted offer is an extra precaution at that point.

One downside of PM is that you hear everything 2nd or 3rd hand.

The biggest issue will be the need to turn on the utilities for the appraisal along with the inability to do any lender required repairs prior to closing as HUD does not allow this. 

The biggest problem I see with new investors/wholesalers is their ability to evaluate a deal and get it at the right price.

The biggest reasons being that it sounds like the rents are maxed and there isn't much value add.
