If you have to borrow hard money, or are looking for a huge return then it's definitely dried up compared to 2/3/4 years ago.  

And compare SBL numbers on the contract with the tax record to make sure they match and you are looking at the correct lot assessment.

I'm a small fry compared to B2R and such... and the reason my two flippers use me consistently is because there's no paperwork involved...

I say minor repairs because this only really needs some lipstick to make it comparable to all the other comps.

It is more difficult to sell with tenants as this rental has lower cap rate to compare with cheaper locations in Kansas City metro area.

The monthly cost is pennies compared to the thousands of dollars you will make off of this site, relationships, and knowledge you reap. 

If this property were compared to a failing business, what would you do to make this business prosperous?

Yes, my wholesale inventory is down compared to 2013/14 but I still have a ton of eager buyers.

It helps me compare apples to apples given my personal operating assumptions.
