Now with higher interest rates, and slower sales, the profits are being squeezed, thus an increase in risk for the potential flippers. 

It really depends on how it’s structured.  

This allows a few days for flexibility and cleaning.But it really depends on the remaining work.

It can depend on the property, but owner paying the bills seems rare these days. 

The best strategy really depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and your market conditions.

Depends on your goals and the current market.

So, what is happening today is not as important as what will happen in the foreseeable future.If rents are increasing faster than inflation (I use 5% per year as an average rate), then it may be worth holding the property, since your cash flow will increase as rents rise.However, in your post you stated, "Mortgage rates have kept increasing as well, that's why I put a range on negative cash flow."

Our area has a good selection of hard money lenders, and every now and then, you might find an owner willing to carry the loan, often at attractive rates.

@Bryce JamisonI think it all depends on where you live.

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.
