I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 
Matt Wells Can't get a conventional 30 year loan. Should I get an ARM, DSCR, or other option?
26 August 2024 | 24 replies
I think you are on the right track comparing options - however I would note that there isn't really a differentiation between "DCSR" and "ARM" - there are a lot of 5 Year ARM options for DSCR Loans so theres overlap - maybe you are referring to a true 5-year balloon bank/credit union type loan?
