This seller is a little on the stubborn side though.If I can get an appraiser and real estate agent to both confirm that the ARV can come in at the $190K that zillow is indicating, then: (($190K * .7) - $52K repairs) = $81,000 is a price that a rehabber might be happy with.

If you have to remove the old linoleum tiles in some places to make it even, i found the easiest way to remove stubborn glue is to iron the tiles.

@Jean Bolger, what I'm afraid of is that what you describe might NOT be an isolated case--it just seems to me (intuitively, without any real proof) that the disputes among board members in a small complex would so much more personal than in a larger complex.I don't know which would be worse--dealing with bad tenants, or dealing with stubborn HOA members, ha ha!

Once in a while a closing company says that they MUST close out and record the 1st transaction then wait 24-48 hours before they'll close the 2nd transaction, and usually even with those we can usually work around that process, but there are a few who are super stubborn and refuse. 

Then I can give them what they want (Especially when they are stubbornly attached to the listing price) and get what I want. 

Typically, BRRR is more easily done on a vacant property, as you can get it and get it rehabbed more expeditiously; and it also lends itself more to properties purchased in foreclosure than traditional sales.I think your numbers are fine for a first deal (I lose $40 a month on my first deal, and after 7 years I still refuse to sell it because I'm just that stubborn).

I'm stubborn as mule.

We have a healthy 23 accounts we started from scratch, I'd love to grow it, go official, market, etc. but he's so stubborn and won't let me do it.  

Most times, we end up winning and I am able to secure the deal for them - making one happy client.On the other hand, I have stubborn clients who don't want to submit any paperwork until they see a unit first.

I have seen friends of mine attempt to go out it alone and lose their shirts because they were too stubborn to ask for help.
