Post: Advice on possible flip on busy 4 lane

We have an opportunity to purchase a home that has not gone on the MLS yet. It's in horrible disrepair and the realtor doesn't even want to go inside. Rumor has it that it has a bedbug infestation. In addition, it is on a busy 4 lane road and traffic is quite loud. On the plus side we can purchase it for about 20k. At this point I am unsure of rehab costs since we have not been inside the property. We are fairly new investors having flipped 3 properties. Is this a deal that you would pursue? Don't want to waste time on something if being on a busy street would be detrimental to resale of the property. TIA for any helpful insight you might have!
I personally would not pursue it. The busy street will make it less valuable than the comps that are nearby. That means it will be difficult to determine your profit.

I do not believe that investors are to blame for displacing working families. The reason the prices are high has to do with simple supply and demand. As an investor, I do not set the price or the value of a property. The market sets the value. I simply work to add value to a property by improving it, and then I realize those profits.
Post: How many hours of sleep do you get?

I try to get 5-6 hours on weekdays and 7-8 on weekends.
Part of my issue has been that I work 11-12 hours a day, I work out at the gym every day, and I am trying to maintain a healthy relationship with my fiancé. I made the decision to sacrifice sleep, at least on weekdays, in order to accomplish my personal goals.

Still the question I have for you is what kind of investing are you looking to do? I focus primarily on C class areas and properties. I could tell you the best school districts, but often these might not be the best areas to invest depending on what you are looking to accomplish.
