Is there a way to have No money Down or Low money down? 

Low Risk: TDAs are insulated from market volatility, offering peace of mind.4.

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

Rates are high, usually in the high 8s or low 9s, and you may pay 2-4 points on the loan. 

Personally I like keeping my properties that I know are successful and have low maintenance.

Quote from @Bonnie Low: It doesn't have to be condos or apartments necessarily. 

All original tenants were long term low rent tenants.

When you say you want to prioritize cash flow over equity, you want to watch out for people honing in on that and selling you "good cash flow" deals which will be in D neighborhoods and will come with high capital expenditures and harder tenancies.

Basically all up and down the mid west markets.but you get to other areas of the country were used houses sell for more than New construction  and there are low inventories etc.. and trying to talk someone into a lease with the option to buy  is much tougher to a basic non starter..

If you are skilled in each of the areas above, and you have enough in reserves to cover the costs of when things do not go as planned, then you can likely attract money from private money lenders who want to get a return on their money and they see lending to you as a low risk way of earning a better return than in the other passive investing options they have.
