Although I am not opposed to talking to anyone, but the insights I can share would be specific to this market also.

That is fundamentally opposed to you the flipper where you are seeking maximum margin. 

Here’s the 30,000-ft view:What cost seg actually doesA study breaks the property into buckets — 5-, 7-, 15-year stuff (carpet, cabinets, certain exterior, land improvements) vs the 27.5-year building.

@Parker Scott I am working with someone looking at another location right now, but if I run the numbers and it doesn't pencil out, I am not opposed to any area! 

The dust from the car tires constantly made the home exterior dirty.So, too much dirt and too much noise; I would pass!

The exterior was painted, new windows were installed, and the roof was completed. 

I havent considered flipping condos as I figured there was less opportunity to add value to exteriors.

Track patterns, not one-offs .Maintenance triageLife-safety and habitability = immediate.Nuisance items batched into one visit to save trip fees; set boundaries for light bulbs, loose handles, squeaky doors .HVAC filters and tune-ups on cadence with photo proof; replace only when failure or at turn unless risk dictates .Turn standardScope template: paint touch-up, flooring repair, caulk, deep clean, locks rekey, curb appeal.Do big upgrades at vacancy, not with tenants in place, unless safety or leakage forces it .PM accountabilityExpectations doc: response times, approval limits, photo receipts, monthly owner update.Calendar check-ins: delinquency on the 6th, vacancy every Friday, turns twice weekly until listed .Biggest time sinks and how to cut themBack-and-forth on minor work orders: batch and set thresholds; teach PM what’s urgent vs optional .Chasing updates: standardize touchpoints and require proof-in-photos for work done .Overpricing vacancies: use ranges, listen to PM’s on-the-ground read, and choose speed over squeezing the last bit on your first units .Quick wins when inquiries slowPhoto order: lead with the best exterior at golden hour, then kitchen, bath, best room.Price bracket tweak: drop to just under a common search filter and add a move-in credit line in the first sentence.First 5 photos tell the whole story: light, clean, and your three sell points up front.Your next movePick one property.

One other thing to keep in mind in converting a flip to a DSCR, most lenders will allow you to use the appraised value after you've owned the property for 6 months as opposed to your cost.

Update;I had an "environmental" specialist come by and we noticed additional mold spots on the baseboards of an exterior wall that is shared by two different rooms (pictured).
