are there any other cash flow strategies that I'm not considering that'll allow for limited initial capital or the recycling of the same capital?

Also what are your thoughts on the RE cycle that we are currently in? 

People usually know why you are at their home and if they are reasonable enough would entertain your offer.I don't buy leads because I feel most of these companies are dishonest and recycle the leads to other individuals. 

Recycle the cash into other income producing assets. 

It's higher priced cash than a conventional loan and faster to obtain, thus enabling fast acquisitions..Fix the property up and stabilize it, get it rented, then do a cash out refi with possibly a. conventional loan to cash your short term financing guy out.There may be a seasoning period required by some banks.To summarize, buy with short term money, repair,rent, and then refi into longer term cheaper money, thus recycling your short term money to do over.It does work if you find a great deal,your projections are accurate,find the right partners, and execute quickly.Hope this helps, good luck.

As well as recently getting into MFH REI, we have a recycling business where we give free recycling bins to service these gated in complexes.

Assuming you raised the value of your rentals with the renovations, you could refinance them, pull out the equity, and reinvest it...BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat)...recycle the same capital over and over again.

Still people shuttling recycling around in shopping carts, last I checked, but heard they were going to close down the recycling center.

Construction adhesive glues it to the wall, but I'd still fur out those studs and screw it in so I could have it as an access panel.The only reason I thought about this is that I just got a new Kohler Choreograph shower surround.You should be able to find leftover composite shower surround material at your nearest recycled-materials supply place.

Opportunity for value-add, opportunistic, and development all over LA.We all more or less can see where we are in the RE cycle, we've come a long ways off the bottoms of the "great recession".
