@Jordan Kaylor, financing aside, how are you going about sourcing potential deals?

If you lose your source of primary income, do you have enough cash to make it through the crisis? 

Quote from @Alvin Sylvain: This could be a good idea if executed properly.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases: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.

I think new investors heavily overlook the skill component needed to successfully pull off a renovation to then rent out properly.

They are full size and yet still run off 120v and just need a water source and drain. 

It's been so bad here, that I bought an STR in Indiana with another business partner in 2024 because there are minimal opportunities here - unless you have the ability and budget to extensively source off market properties here.

The reason is that one wants to be able to properly avail themselves to the laws and protection of the corresponding state where the property lies.

If you want off market deals, typically the best deals are the ones you are going to source on your own, not from an agent or wholesaler.
