My client bought a 22 unit building and used this strategy and walked out of closing with a check for $800k to perform the rest of the renovations, paid himself back his already expended rehab costs and his entire down payment.  

I talked with Chris Sadler at Reva and to stay in theDST will mean no payments at all because the money will go to reserves for a unknown future.And to sell DST will only bring about a little more than 50 cents on the dollar. 

On top of that you can find some great deals on TLC properties that need a little work but offer a strong ARV to expedite your initial cash back out with room for the next REI down payment.  

You would still save more money 9 out of 10 times living with your parents but being able to leverage a low down payment loan will allow you to get a very high ROI on relatively safe investment. 

The front end can sometimes be tedious to get approved by the local housing authority, but rent payments are always timely.

I learned how much an escrow account check matters to your overall mortgage payment.

It was a bridge loan, 8.25% interest only payments for 12 months, 2 points.

you're going to be INvesting for the first few years... rental income from the property isn't going to start paying back what you spend in closing costs, rent ready costs, stabilization costs, down payment, etc. for several years at a minimum.hope this helps - not trying to be negative, just realistic.

Many distributors also offer financing and can give you an idea of what monthly loan payment you’d be looking at.
