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.

As a side note typically I do not use my deferred tax dollars to invest in traditional real estate as the benefits (depreciation etc) are all lost when using a self directed IRA - My guess is build to rent will provide little to no cash flow to build the account - it will all be locked in the property. 

Quote from @Ogonna Odo:  Small ones will not, they typically like cash or checks.

high interest rates have hurt cash flow and long term rentals are still a great investment... they're just not going to throw off rental income in the first few years of ownership.

Lower property taxes, affordable housing compared to LA (CA buyers are usually cash buyers because what they net from their smaller home in CA can get them a bigger home here, often covered by what they net from their CA sale), allergies (smog), and politics. 

Many judges would feel you got paid even if no cash was sent to you.I could see this potentially working on a higher-end property that it in excellent condition with a Grade A tenant.

@Vincent WeselakIt’s a good idea to get an estimate for your insurance costs upfront since this can vary based on the property type and location, and it’s a key factor in evaluating your cash flow.
