the one that broke even was a fix and flip play that the fix happened but the flip did not work. 

That being said you can make that kind of money with fewer properties but you would need to do more intense work and higher risk Short Term Rentals, co-living, or Section 8.- My Strategy: I'd like to buy and hold residential rental properties.

I always recommend that you have significant cash before buying as real estate is cash intensive business

I also have rentals in Detroit that I get far higher rents with cash paying tenants than I would a section 8 tenant.There are a lot of factors at play and the answer to "why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?"

I want to play devils advocate, to have a convincing argument.

Fix and flip is too capital intensive and relies on being able to find a retail buyer so it's arguably more risky than a slow flip.
