While offering the “cash flow tranche” of a SFR might not be viable, the cash flow tranche of a portfolio of say triple net leased properties may be much more viable.  

A lot of it has to do with location and time.If they are local owners looking at 1-2 LTR properties, I'll assist with identifying cash flowing/near cash flowing properties, assist them in the purchase as their buyers agent and assist with tenant procurement, listing, etc. but they can typically handle day to day management from there.Furnished properties, whether that be MTR or STR, are a lot more involved, as I'm sure you're aware of!

I would think the only way Feds come in and lock this down if they can prove that the investments noted in the offering were never made and that the sponsor just pocket the cash and used new cash to pay the old investors. 

I bought a single family home for cash in November, did the renovations and now have tenants.

Can provide all the benefits from a cash flow and tax perspective.

the have found a way to solve for all the problems that you brought up and get you quicker to a place that your investment can be cash flowing.  

They have been the best investments I've ever made, but hoping to have greater cash flow influence with a daily business model.Is there demand for these types of rentals in the investment community?

Any MF of the quality and size (50 up) I would have been interested in would have been cash flow negative for the next 5 years or so, even with 30% down.
