My criteria for a deal is pretty simple:If the acquisition/rehab/holding costs are 75-80% of the ARV; I feel like this would be essential for the cash-out refinance portion of the BRRRR method.If the cash flow is greater than $200/mo.If the cash-on-cash ROI is 15% or greater.Now using the neighborhood information that I have available, it's simply the process of seeking out possible deals.Priority is given to physically distressed properties or properties with a history of tax delinquency.

I’ve been working as an electrician the last 4 years, the pay is good but the job is demanding physically and time consuming.

That's about it for the actual pet...... they don't "mark" or have other issues that will damage the property at any higher rate than a spayed dog.If she has puppies, the risk of property damage goes WAY up......The biggest consideration I see is that whether their pet is "altered" or not is a rough gauge on how good of a pet owner they are....do they actually invest $$ in the health and well being of their pets or do they just do the bare minimum.

Hopefully, someone reading this will be more familiar with the area and be able to offer some investment tips.So, if you were physically living here in the area, and had a background in construction/remodeling, how would you approach RE investing?

A quick back-story - I am a Physical Therapist by trade and also an investor in the Western Massachusetts area.

If boiler shuts off it's something wrong with thermostat either programing or something physically wrong with it.

This was not only a physical challenge, but even more so it was a mental challenge to complete.

The fha appraiser simply notes minor physical issues that must be repaired for fha, that would be okay for conventional, but it has nothing to do with value.

Once you have that sorted out then its time to look into any physical barriers to construction as mentioned by @Connor Dunham to sort out how simple or difficult (read expensive) it will be to build and live in that location.

I guess my question is, is it common for people that don't know how to do the physical labor associated with flipping a house to get into it?
