I am finding the market challenging especially as it relates to cash flow.  

Paying off the mortgage can provide peace of mind and simplify retirement, while keeping the debt allows you to leverage your funds for higher returns through investments.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Section 8: All the S8 “gurus” promote putting S8 tenants into this Class of cheap properties to “get rich”.

Do a bit of digging, and you can find single-families in suburbs like Decatur or Meridianville that appreciate at rates above the statewide and nationwide average and hit the 1% rule at the same time.One caveat, though, is that most rentals in Huntsville proper probably aren’t going to deliver the cash flow you’re looking for.

Try finding a lender that has a consultative approach and will walk through your first deal with you and really paint the full picture so you know exactly what you need.

This can not be said about many 100k properties.Turnkey providers made sense IMO back in 2010-2015 when it was easy to find deals, but hard to get funding, so you'd sell the ones you could not get funding for.

As others have mentioned, Vancouver is very expensive and difficult to find cashflow. 

We have helped a ton of clients with the process here in Chicago..just be sure to find a team (Agent, Lender, HUD Consultant, and General Contractor) that has done these renovation loans in the past!

all are new constructions and I don't know how she is gonna be able to find 750h of work to do in these new construction houses.We're talking about 15 hours of hands-on work every single week of the year.

You will have more success finding LP partners to fill the rest of the capital stack alongside of the construction debt.
