How 'hard and fast' do you stick to/around the 70% ARV rule for fix and flipping a property? 

I plan on doing it passively on the side until my business grows large enough for me to do it full time.I might start out with a SFH but I'm not sure yet, still learning a lot.I am sticking to Canada for now, but the future isn't determined yet.Its a learning curve I'm willing to dive into, thanks for your advice!

At this stage in the cycle, I'd stick with high occupancy properties.

Stick with what you like and know.

Two baths, stick with 50gal.

Stick to your numbers and you'll be happy.

I’m glad I went with the BRRHR but I’m going to stick with BRRRR from here on.Special thanks to Joe Prillaman for also being willing to answer all my questions.

I figured as an REO the bank has had for years there would be more flexibility in price, but they are sticking to their guns. 

I'd talk to the supervisor, stick to the facts and tell them this is urgent.  

Once I have the paperwork I delve into all the details and a more thorough due diligence takes place.If you key in 'due diligence' into the search area up top a lot of prior threads will come up with check lists and so on.Make sure you know what your goals are and stick to them to end up with an investment that helps you get to where you are wanting to go.
