It's not necessarily the best property but the best situation that fits.For example, ideally you'd have a perfect property requiring virtually no repairs, just vacuuming perhaps, and plenty of time for you to find a buyer after you've tied up the deal.You are actually using your skills as a negotiator to assure the seller that you have the ability to close and solve the problem(s) that they see as most important within the timeframe that's agreed upon.Truth be told, most abandoned properties have combinations of both people and property problems.

The difference between the amateur and a professional is that the professional does the basic to perfection and the armature overlooks at the basics."

Perfect gets in the way of done, execute execute execute.

It could also be a perfect storm of sorts where it was negative amortization and this same type of agreement that went south.  

After recently spending several thousand dollars renovating a rental unit to what I thought was really nice, the new tenant asked if I would be willing to replace perfectly good sliding closet doors to newer, more modern ones.

Perfectly reasonable.

You are never going to learn everything and get it all perfect each time.

Perfect condition.
