Home flippers are seeing the lowest return on investment in nearly a decade — but that still makes for tens of thousands of dollars in returns, according to new data from national property database Attom Data solutions LLC.The gross profit on a typical home flip — the different between the median sale price and the median price paid by the investors — rose to $67,000 in the second quarter of 2021, up 2.4% from the $65,400 in the first quarter of 2021 and up 3.1% over the $65,000 seen in the second quarter of 2020, according to AttomBut that heightened gross profit translated into a 33.5% return on investment compared to the original acquisition price, down from 37.2% in the first quarter of 2021 and down from 40.6% during the second quarter of 2020.That puts it at a level last seen since in first quarter of 2011, when the housing market had yet to fully recover from the slump brought on by the Great Recession.

I like your point about not necessarily having to find a "home run" or "hot deal", especially with my experience level.

All the areas are different and will be good or bad for you depending on your goals, budget, risk tolerance, expectations etc...So with that said you should check out The Ultimate Guide to Grading Cleveland Neighborhoods where I have graded these neighborhoods on an A-F scale based on price and risk level.

not just on the fed level but state and local as well. 

This is an old post but for anyone who needs a lender you should reach out to Tony at Housemax Funding he communicates well, does a bit of coaching and has several options depending on the deal, your level of experience etc
