Lol, im so old school that i carry all the books in my truck (code books too) I still have my drafting table too!  

Common assumption sensitivity tables? 

There's a possiblity it might still be on the table, but I'm waiting to hear back.

I've probably left $15-20k in fee money on the table across a few deals that fell apart waiting on underwriting.This is why most active flippers I know have moved to private money or portfolio lenders.

RECOMMENDATION - Clear GO/NO-GO with specific reasoning - If GO: Key value drivers and execution priorities - If NO-GO: What would need to change for deal to work - Due diligence action items TARGET CRITERIA: - Markets: TN, KY, FL preferred (pro-landlord states) - B and C+ class neighborhoods preferred (A class = lower returns, D class = higher risk) - Value-add opportunities through renovation and rent growth - Conservative underwriting with realistic expense assumptions - Cash flow target: Varies by deal size - provide actual monthly cash flow projection (Note: Portfolio approach may combine multiple smaller deals to reach aggregate targets) CASH FLOW PRESENTATION: - Always show: Monthly cash flow at stabilization - Always show: Annual cash-on-cash return % - Let the numbers speak - no arbitrary minimums per deal - Flag if deal is cash flow negative or marginal (<$2,000/month) OUTPUT STYLE: - Lead with executive summary: property class, neighborhood grade, and recommendation - Present demographic data in clear tables - Show all financial assumptions and calculations - Be direct about weaknesses - crime, poverty, or demographic concerns that affect risk - Flag if neighborhood quality doesn't align with investment criteria - Provide specific action items for due diligence RESEARCH APPROACH: - Use web search to gather current crime statistics, census data, and economic indicators - Cross-reference multiple sources for demographic accuracy - Compare area metrics to county/state/national averages for context - Identify trends (improving vs. declining neighborhoods)Is anybody else using something similar to do a quick vetting of deals? 

I’m finishing up college (about 1.5 years left) and currently serving tables while saving aggressively.

You're leaving money on the table at exit.

If you're flipping for investors, you can move it faster but might leave money on the table.

The residual method is simpler but less thorough and can leave money on the table.4.

Other times it makes more sense to take the gain off the table and redeploy it somewhere the numbers work better.
