Also obvious to me is this property will not produce a return that warrants the effort. 

there's people out there who will fund downpayments for equity in the deal or a preferred return. hit up local meetups and facebook groups and have some conversations

Interest rates are going to have to come down because there's no way the federal government can afford long-term interest payments at these higher levels, and other countries are going to buy our debt even if their return sucks because there's no realistic viable alternative.

@Jerry Tello I should have mentioned the laws and how they affect your returns vary tremendously from state to state, and sometimes county to county.

However, there's a loss on the 2023 Tax Returns, and Net Income is $45,000 in 2022 (Client has lots of writeoffs) What loans could I use that only consider:- Bank Statements - 1099s - Credit Score Please contact me with options.

What this implies to the typical RE investor is obtaining significant cash flow is a big challenge right now and relying on other RE profit sources (such as a value add and not doing a value subtract) may be a more certain path of generating returns.  

>>For purposes of taxes, consult with a CPA to confirm this would work for your situation, but you could have the LLC be treated as a "disregarded entity" and thus, even if you and your wife are members, any profits/losses would "disregard" the LLC and go directly on your personal returns. 

The calculator is a LIVE excel with multiple tabs and all of them are interconnected, you may mess up a formula and you will see awesome returns inaccurately.

Target neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Kensington, and Point Breeze, where demand and ARV potential are currently strong.Your skills in renovations will give you a significant edge in controlling costs and boosting returns.

As a rental strategy for non owner occupants, it absolutely is a fantastic way to generate the highest return, that's true.....but also, and most importantly, your screening has to be on point, and without that, it won't be as effective because one bad roommate can ruin the environment for the other roommate tenants.
