But I'm having trouble finding any properties that I could rent, BRRRR, or flip where I would even break even—let alone clear a profit or cash flow.My question is: When you hear that I'm essentially doing 100% financing, does that make it clear to anyone what strategy would be best?

Don't take a break when others are taking a break.

TO put it in terms, I got to a point in sec8 where we'd come into a unit and say "Oh man REALLY, come on, can't it just be a dead body or something" lol. 

I like your idea of an auto shop or auto body shop.

Leyha, let’s break this down logically.

I am getting back into rentals after taking a break after my mom passed away.

To make it easier for you (ie less stressful), you may want to break her rent into two payments (ie 1st and 15th). 

These hidden costs can eat into margins and disrupt timelines, yet there seems to be no streamlined way to tackle them before breaking ground.I’m working on a solution that combines site analysis tech + cost prediction modeling to help developers get ahead of these risks.

Just have to stomach the higher rates for 2-3 years, break even (ideally cash-flow a tiny bit), and handle the PM during the roller coaster ride our President is putting everyone on.

@Lau CorYou're on the right track by focusing on long-term cash flow and appreciation while aiming for a break-even investment within the first year.
