Quote from @Sean Kirk: I'm seeing what seems to be 10%+ cap rates on roofstock.

I'd wait this one out until rates lower and you can refi and learn from it to buy better the next time around. 

Terms such as interest rates and payment schedules are typically negotiable.Combining creative financing with seller financing can include strategies like:Subject-to and Seller Financing: Taking over the seller's mortgage and financing the equity portion through the seller.Lease Option: Renting with an option to buy while negotiating seller financing for part of the purchase.Wraparound Mortgage: Keeping the seller's existing loan while they finance a new loan that includes the balance.To proceed, consider connecting with experienced investors, understanding local legal implications, and attending networking events to gather insights.

If you look at the MF mentor guru's they have one thing in mind when you do a deal with them  YOU ARE ALREADY accredited and have 100k or more to invest in their deals and the money to buy their course. the beginner fix and flip gurus and wholesale gurus like to take those that dont know much about the business and teach them how to do it and of course we know the success rate for those with no experience taking those courses is minute but the folks feel good being a part of the big events.. 

If you can or do trust your PM company then speed can increase and costs decrease over time. 

For me, it was live in flips, short term rentals, mid term rentals, good income with a solid savings rate, buying after tax index funds, paying off the primary house, driving old cars, moving a lower cost of living area (from Houston to small town Maine), and selling a business to push me over the top.

Prices have increased (higher terms/rates) as the fed rate has gone up so you have seen people who could get 8 or 9% now in double digits.

I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.  

For full time management rates can range from 20-30% of gross revenue depending on the level of services provided.
