I personally prefer flexibility but having structured amortization does provide discipline if principal reduction is an optimal outcome for you.  

I understand that navigating the minimum loan amount restrictions can be tricky, but Chase is known to offer financing solutions that could potentially accommodate lower loan amounts, possibly even down to $50k, which might align well with your investment goals and the price range you're interested in.If you haven't already, reaching out to Chase could provide you with some additional flexibility in your property search, allowing you to stay within your desired price range and maximize your monthly cash flow from the investment.

I did work a second job and the company was flexible with my time but I also put in the worked on getting realtors which means being out of the office.

Is there another role inside the company or at another company where your skills are valued but you can have more flexibility of schedule?

Success will always be determined by flexibility.

Other banks may be more/less flexible. 

These loans are a lot more flexible than "conventional" loans.

You will want to balance the above with your target audience, and be flexible to making price changes based on the competition and time of year.

If you like control, flexibility, and higher profit potential, getting licensed and joining a brokerage might be the way to go.

In past years I always had in mind acquiring doors and having semi-steady monthly.While I have a highly flexible schedule, I don't have the freedom to be on call at any time.
