Again just my inexperienced opinion but common sense to me is yes you should have standard products like paint color and even the brand and model of toilets you use.

There is, in my opinion, a guarantee of losing equity but only a risk of actually losing a property, when leveraged, assuming a investor is well prepared. 

Just to add an opinion, don’t rush!

The issue is my agent priced my property based on her opinion of Comps in the area, I felt the listing number was too high in my opinion but went with the professional who does this for a living.

I would caution you on anything Morris.. they are far from reputable from what we have seen on BP just look at some of the threads on what they did to investors in Indy.. is sad  and left many many folks in very bad financial shape and then to top it off took no responsibility at all and try to blame others.. not to mention their idea of investing in low values assets is completely the opposite of how those assets work.. they are just not credible at any level in my mind and personal opinion.. and maybe I am not either but that's my view point

Gila Bend is not a big enough, high demand enough market to do a long distance flip (in my opinion). 

I am looking forward to seeing what your opinions are, have a great rest of the day!

I have a property that I’m thinking of getting under contract but I know the numbers are a bit tight. ARV is 220, repair 7-10k, owner is asking 250, will swing for 240 but if it stays as is will 255 work for investors...

Here are the two major questions that I have been eagerly waiting to find answers to and need some expert opinion from all you experts out there: Cash out on equity on the rental property by selling it while market is high.

We can all provide you with our "opinions" but ultimately you know your current situation better than any of us.
