Start with the end in mind --- what would be the investor's exit strategy for this home? 

From my experience working with over 400 investors, consider alternative strategies like rent-by-the-room, buying an SFH with an ADU, or renting where you live while investing elsewhere.

Sadly people will always try to get away with these things when they can.

Talking to others also gave me insight into different markets and strategies, which made it easier to figure out where I wanted to focus my efforts.A simple tip I’d give is to start small and grow gradually.

The first thing I ask is why am I Buying the property.I always look at the exit strategy first, is it going to be a rental, a lease option sell, am I planning on living in it.

Focus will be your superpower - figure out which strategy you like best and double down on that! 

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.

Also the strategy you are implementing plays a huge part with how to proceed. 

Don, I agree with your list being dangerous, but none of the top five are what I would call mainstream strategies.

I work mostly with investors doing just what you are seeking, the BRRRR strategy.
