A few years ago sellers weren't accepting offers with financing because there were so many cash buyers. 

I think it is best for me in my situation to use an all cash offer, and I don't rent back to distressed sellers.  

If your priority is cash flow, then you need to look at markets that support that.

The investor either gets a loan or buys the property in cash.

Still tons of deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow here and you get amazing appreciation potential.

I’d recommend starting with rental arbitrage to get your feet wet and generate some positive cash flow.While I haven’t personally done rental arbitrage, some of my employees have, and they found it to be profitable.However, as a long-term strategy, you’re essentially building your castle on someone else’s land.

Firstly, becoming a multifamily agent is a fantastic way to learn the business first hand while making some cash in the process.

If you know where to look and have the right time, you can find properties that cash flow.

The bigger you go, the less competition you'll have and the greater your chance at some serious cash flow. 

While the taxes on the listing may seem reasonable if it turns out they’re 300% more than they were two years ago just because the community has increased its spending this is a trend that will quickly make your cash flow evaporate.
