I had one where the bank rejected my offer, then a few weeks later lowered the price below my last offer.What am I doing wrong?

I have yet to buy one of his shortsales and I'll explain why below.

I have been doing my homework and have an idea on how to run the numbers to filter prospects.

If it is in yours then likely it is in theirs as well.If it doesn't say in yours then likely it's not in theirs.I can't give legal advice but rather than suffer in silence I would call the landlord and explain you have sensitive lungs and cannot be inhaling in second hand smoke.Second hand smoke is actually MORE DANGEROUS than first hand smoke.The reason is the person smoking the cigarette has a filter before inhaling in and the second hand smoker breathes all the smoke in without a filter.Today's cigarettes are pumped full of chemicals because it is cheaper to make and the burn is faster.The faster the burn the more people will smoke and buy that next pack with a huge mark up.Back in the day smoking was almost all pure tobacco but it is so expensive they use chemicals and very little tobacco today.So in short don't put up with it.

Since the tenant's water/sewer bill will be lower due to the septic, is that an opportunity to jack up the rent and offset the extra costs of maintaining the septic system?

You can also look for owner financed properties in your area, a cash buy price will be lower than the financed price.

Myself, I would never look twice at a 10% ROI, not anything below 20% ever, because I have learned thru experience all too many times a projected 25% ROI can quickly turn into a 14 realized ROI.

From what I have heard, the best way to sell your flip is to price it 1-2% below its value.

First thing you need to do is contact a realtor and get them to set you up on an email update that sends you all the MLS listings in your area below X number of dollars as they come out or get updated.
