All in, our team can do about $1MM Max with rehab cost included (we'd put 20% down with a hard money lender).I have been in contact with Wholesalers but nothing has aligned for us yet, therefore I've added D4D to my arsenal of locating a deal.Right now, these are the steps I'm going through:Go on Zillow to find Pre-Foreclosure properties in areas I like and make sure an auction hasn't been set yet.Drive to the house to check condition of home and surrounding neighborhood.If I like the house, I'll knock on a neighbor's door of the subject house to see what the owner's story is so I can determine if the owner might be motivated.Get in my car, pull out my laptop and run numbers so I have an idea of what I'd like to offer.Knock on owner's door, smile, and pitch.I've only been doing this since Saturday and have gotten one "I MIGHT BE INTERESTED", but it's not so promising.I know it really is a numbers game and most flippers suggest sending mailers out, but I want to know if anyone has had success in the past 12-18 months D4D and what your strategy was.Thank you!

They smile a lot.

@Tony Xu If focused on cash flow in econonically healthy markets, I think your narrowing it down to B props in Kansas City is a good choice, and there are some good turnkey options in that market.  

A new roof gives your potential buyer one more thing to smile about.  

Vacation rentals are probably one of the areas where it would be nice to have a healthy cap rate because you need the buffer for fluctuations in the market on top of the fact that they are typically in secondary housing markets and those are what we see have some of the largest swings in appreciation and depreciation.

With such a small mortgage and healthy cash-flow, there is no reason to deplete your savings.

.- Residential loan delinquency rate is well below the 10-year average and still declining, signaling a strong and healthy housing market.- One trend going on now and continuing in the future of housing he pointed out was demand for rentals in urban areas.- Apartment vacancies are growing in many markets.

A good arborist will tell you maybe a few branches can be removed, but looks healthy (assuming it is).

@Joe Splitrock - reminds me of a 'love language' or 'healthy options' class we took on parenting years back. 

That is cool that it gets put out collectively like that to drive up a healthy budget.
