Houses to avoid when looking for a house to Flip

I'm starting to look for houses to flip and I'm curious what types of houses most investors try to avoid.  I know this is a broad question but just wondering what would be a deal breaker for people, such as a certain type of house, year built, size of kitchen... Right now I'm just trying to keep it simple, basic repairs and cosmetic fixes.

Here is one of the better lists I've found:

  • House that's too small by today's standards
  • Busy street 
  • Small Master Bedroom
  • War Zone
  • No Garage
  • Functionally obsolete
  • Bad Lot
  • Junk neighbors
