That's what is so great about this business, there's no set formula for success. 

I would be working with the realtor and designer to get their 'buy-in' on the colors/style for a faster sale.Would you sell the place as is, and use the rehab money for the purchase of a second property, or go ahead  use it to rehab?

Is there a general system or formula to analyze your flips?

I will keep a heads up on rentals for you out here, but yes they are not available out here. 

When I 1st started out learning about real estate mainly wholesaling there was a common formula use for making offers on homes, want was i believe 70%x ARV - 10,000 = Mao. is that formula still relevant today?

With the amount I have to work with I could potentially end up with 2 buildings with many units in them.The main point of my ramble is I want to be talking ahead of times to lenders, and I do desire to leverage out my proceeds to the point that is reasonable and profitable and with 25 percent down that could be 3.6 to 4 million in purchases.

@Josh Prince I did ask him today to go ahead and send me the MLS listings.

@Kevin Bain To be sure you have a good deal, I suggest the following formula: .70 x $50,000 (ARV) - $25,000 (repairs) = $10,000 (Maximum Allowable Offer)Good luck!

There has got to be a mathematical formula to this...

With your background, you are well ahead of the game.
