For flips, people look for a quick return with minimal market risk.

Lease to a Property Management CompanyPartner with a management company that handles the STR or corporate rental for a predictable income with minimal hassle.

You buy a property at a discount, do minimal work (if any), and then resell it quickly for a profit.

The property remains a valuable asset in my portfolio, delivering strong returns while requiring minimal ongoing investment.

As for the value of carrying, I believe it's minimal.

We also use software to document/communicate out to ALL residents during the lease term in order to minimize inquiries from parents who aren't well informed.

Thats the key, with out knowing all of this then its just a shot in the dark or having bits and pieces of info and trying to solve the financial freedom equation with out the full "picture."

It's a shot in the dark but costs us nothing except for a little bit of time to do. 

These strategies allow individuals to invest in real estate with minimal down payment, gain exposure to the industry, and build capital.Good luck!

I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.
