With economies outside the US slowing, exports getting more expensive in their destination currencies and ever cheaper (in exchange rate) outsourcing costs it’s hard to see how we’re going to generate much wage growth and/or inflation that would spur the Fed to raise rates materially.

Our total rehab costs material and labor were 7500.

So those are just material costs. 

On one hand I can knock on the door and risk the home owner being potentially upset with me because I'm a reminder of their financial troubles, or it could go well because it puts me in front of the seller right away.On the other hand I can leave a juicy piece of marketing material at their doorstep and have them call me without any angst towards me, essentially a warm lead, or it could be they find it easier to throw out the marketing piece and they don't call.I'm curious what you guys think is a better option and what personal experiences you have.

Some areas near Niagara and Buffalo have very poor soil which means there are going to be foundation problems and I would not be surprised if the people come down with cancer because it was used by the military for disposing hazardous material a long time ago. 

You more than likely need to invest higher grade material & better craftsmanship to gain the most spread on the flip. timing is important too, you need to reduce your holding time & cost during rehab.
