I am making sure when I am doing my analysis on returns to take all these into consideration. 

I think it is important to take into consideration the sale price of the home and what the buyer would expect at that price point.

I will definitely take your message into consideration, even if it means making changes to my approach to this whole thing.

My lender has never taken it into consideration.

If I can't find one willing to lend to me, between my savings and a few other folks who might be interested in the deal, I could offer cash.QuestionsWhat other factors should I take into consideration?

This triggers and exponential effect on your COC and ROI way beyond the % of commissions paid.

Someone coming in with same offer price with all cash, no repairs, and quick close will get more consideration depending on how motivated seller is to sell.    

Tax implications are also a consideration.

We're getting closer to pulling the trigger on our first deal... we just want to be sure we get all our ducks in a row so there are limited surprises.

Educate, Analyze, Educate some more, then pull the trigger.
