One strategy or all of them?

I'm all in for under $30k on a deal others would have had to put either $65k (20% down) plus repairs ($30k) or all in with cash ($360k) all for $3700 a month in rent.My monthly expenses are close to $2700 all said and done but I have little into it, a killer loan (3.75% fixed) and when my PMI is gone in a year I'll be +$300 in cash flow.

Others will cover some or all utilities and factor the cost into the rent.
