Flipping is also a full time job...or a second full time job. 

Be prepared to pay much more initially but it will reduce wear-and-tear, cut down on cleaning costs, and you could even learn to install it yourself to cut costs.

I recently did a refinance personally, and bullet pointed out all the ways in which the listing agent did a horrible job of marketing the property, caved on price during negotiations, etc, among other things, to make the appraiser more comfy with an opinion of value significantly higher than I purchased the property for.

Additionally, we had a wiring issue where power was cut to one side of the condo which I feel may be the from the rodents chewing.In total, I have had my maintenance contractor in there twice to make sure all openings are sealed in addition to fixing the wiring.  

Which equates to heirship issues, leins from the city for keeping the grass cut, interest in those leins depending on how old they are, and a host of other potential hiccups. 

However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated this restriction starting in 2018.

Bigger worry is job market and interest rates.

Like I said, it's our side hustle (we both have full time professional jobs and a houseful of kids), but we do the management ourselves. 

Even small improvements never go as planned, bigger jobs will have delays and unforeseen problems. doing this with tenants in place could prove to be disastrous.

@Jon Lee I actually just left my Regular 9-5 job early to go to a Lunch/Meeting at 11:30am.
