Work with a good property management company who will get co-signers from parents (parents are typically paying rents) and be flexible around subleasing, especially during summer periods because students go home and do not always stay for summer time; this can still be a 12 month lease.

(there is enough space under the roof to set up the central AC).A few pros and cons that I can think of for each option:Mini split:-Flexible room temperature control-Less costly to operate if I turn it off in the rooms that I don't use-Takes more visible space, not very pleasing to eye-Renter might loose the remote or break the unit (somehow!!)

I have a flexible schedule and can work less or more hours.

I’m more concerned with wealth than cash flow at the moment with 0% down, but my biggest fear is not having the flexibility to continue my stack or get out if needed.I’ve ran the numbers as if I was getting current rents at 4.25%, BP suggested market rents at 5.25% in the second year, and the upper range of current market rents at the 6.25% which would kick in year 3.

It provides us with the flexibility we need to start renovations at a time when we have financial and plans set, ultimately increasing the property's value and appeal for future long-term tenants.Our decision is not just about financial gain; it's about providing immediate assistance to those in need, with the understanding that this approach also serves our long-term objectives.

We want to give owners some flexibility and a good experience working with us, but also, contracts are the assets in this business model i.e. if you don’t have some teeth in the language, if/when you try and sell your company later it won’t be worth much.The 60-90 notice period seems to be a good balance.

With regards to the credit score, I thought that it would be better to be flexible on that requirement vs the income.

Think about if you want to keep the property for a long time, sell it after renovations, or put it to other uses.Note that careful planning, thoroughness, and flexibility are necessary for profitable real estate investing.

Local credit unions are also worth checking out for flexible options.

This strategy provides flexibility and can be used to control a property with minimal upfront costs.Before diving into any specific strategy, it's crucial to thoroughly research and understand the local market, regulations, and potential risks associated with each approach.
