Guess I'll just have to analyze any deals on their own merits, maintain sufficient margin for safety, and have multiple exit strategies, but that sounds like it will be a lot of work so maybe I should just look for an easier answer from a guru with fancy charts.

As you can see I've even purchased a pro subscription so I could begin using the deal calc to analyze deals in my area.

You have to really analyze where the project could go bad and have contingencies in place in case you run up against them - i.e. the house doesn't sell, you have unexpected costs during projects, what the SOW of the project will entail, what your marketing costs are (his wife as an agent will help minimize these costs), what if something unforeseen happens and you cant finish project, whos name the house will be under, and that might determine who will be able to pull permits if needed, etc.Anyway, you should spend A LOT of time going over "what ifs" and sit down with your attorney and pound out these details.

Make your Team members prove their ability before cut them loose to take care of things you are responsible for.Track all of the income and expenses on projects you do in a report form and analyze them regularly with a few people you trust to help you and you might be able to cut your expenses and increase your income.

Aside from that, when you start looking at properties be sure to analyze the property for Cash Flow first, as if they are fully rented (when you move out).  

So I did an in-depth article analyzing them which might be helpful to you.

I need to know exactly what the rents are to analyze the deal?
