To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

I use to mentor newbies at an extremely low fee.

I also have a building though in a low income suburb and that place is 10x the work and I kind of want to find a manager for it.

I'm planning on doing a str loophole so low priced str won't work well for me 

House hacking is a great way to build wealth while keeping your living costs low.

Based on my calculations, even with a low down payment, I can achieve positive cash flow (with aggressive enough house hacking).

If you want to buy your first property ASAP, house hacking (duplex, triplex, or renting extra rooms) is one of the best ways to start with a low down payment while learning property management.

A debt service loan would be a good option if your DTI is high, you want to close in an LLC, you're self-employed or have low income on paper, or you don't have a stable 2-year work history.

Most of those old houses with the upstairs ceiling rooms are just about 7 ft in the middle of the room but they go down to as low as 3 ft.

*Look for properties where you can gain immediate equity by buying at a low price.
