Are there that many that they are a problem and what are they feeding on? 

Is that consistent with other local, similar properties?

We have a go-to electrician and have been through several heating and cooling companies- it is hard to find anyone who can work on boilers consistently, and half our properties have boilers.Our rentals are a 15 minute drive away, and it's an odd week if I am not driving by at least once. 

There may not be a bunch but if you’re consistent in your marketing and making offers you will find deals.That being said  you can absolutely flip remotely if you know what you’re doing but you need to have a solid team in place where you are flipping.

I am doing a lot of BRRR projects right now, and have been consistently dealing with extremely low appraisals.

Carvana’s price was consistently higher than the dealer prices.

Stay consistent and involved on BP and the physical Cleveland RE community, and you will get there!

Consistent marketing, networking, and creating value for sellers.Best of luck!

Keep learning and be consistent.

The main leads you want to focus on are the HOT leads (For Sale By Owner -FSBO, expired, incoming buyer leads) and the warm leads (personal circle/sphere of influence).Focus on speaking to as many people within a specific time block each day and do it consistently.
