I also have no interest in being in the car wash business, or the laundry business, or the AirBnB business, things like that which seem to appeal to a good number of people, but not me.I like to KISS, and just focus on market rate rentals, 12 to 18 month leases.

Find a proven strategy and focus on that.

I am primarily focused on appreciation, but would like some cashflow to keep the investment profitable year-to-year.

Like others have mentioned, there are definitely areas that make more sense than others depending on if you want to focus on cashflow or appreciation (just like with any investment).

You'll want to focus on securing a favorable financing deal at the refinance stage—ideally, you want to pull out as much of your initial investment as possible while keeping monthly payments manageable.A big consideration is understanding your after-repair value (ARV) and ensuring the rehab costs add value in proportion to that.

I focus on land and mobile homes.

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!

We work hard to keep things positive and real estate-focused (no politics or religion).

I am definitely focused on appreciation over cash flow.

@Brian LuterYour focus on small multifamily and land acquisition is a strong strategy, especially for scaling and long-term value creation.
