You could look at a seller carryback 2nd (seller-financed 2nd position loan), but DSCR lenders will vary in whether they allow this and by how much. 

There are several ways to offset income, even with positive cash flow.

If not worse.The difference is negligible in your position, holding over 5M in equity, your time is better used elsewhere.

Finding a turn-key or new construction unit that is cash-flow positive in the first year can be challenging.

But ensure it is legit, if you are audited, and you didn't rightfully take the position, it's not just the tax - you'll be hit with late payment penalties, substantial underpayment penalties, interest, and potentially fraud related penalties if it can be determined that you knew you didn't meet the qualifications but claimed it anyways. 

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

A pullback is expected soon though which at that time will add to my position.

I have already learned a few costly lessons about real estate investing, and I am ready to move the needle in a positive direction. 

All the purchase transactions i dealt were investor centric and Passive income / Positive cash flow oriented. 

@Spencer FrySearch here on BP there was someone saying they could do itWe have not seen anyone who would do it as we are seeing more and more lenders shying away from being in 2nd position on investment properties
