• Is this a better strategy than using your own name, capital and credit to start out?

Whether to go with a BRRRR deal or multiple down payments depends on your risk tolerance and long-term strategy.

.- Does anyone see any flaws or can offer some improvements/considerations to the financing strategy of this plan? 

My former experience has been with LTR and I'm currently focused on STR in E TN but interested in learning other useful strategies and expanding markets in later deals. 

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

I have heard good things about Ohio, Indiana, etc.5 - Due to high interest rates flipping has become highly risky and most businesses have dried up.6 - Co-living and Assisted living seems to be popular right now.So - really depends on your market, your strategy, and your timeline.

Section 8 can be a solid strategy, especially in cities like Detroit where the rent-to-price ratios often make it worth considering.
