I am having difficulty in my market even acquiring good BRRRR candidates because after the finance, they are cash flow negative.  

However, I've been having difficulty renting one of the rooms because I've noticed some of the potential renters are either super particular, end up wanting to live on their own or with one other person (I have one room currently rented), flake, or come up with an excuses for not meeting with me. 

Lots of ways to skin it, but it can take several touches before a lead responds. 

However, if you need fast access to funds or have difficulty qualifying for a HELOC, a hard money loan could be a viable alternative, especially if you have a clear plan to refinance quickly.

Far fewer disruption to my life, and possibly a little cheaper via economies of scale and lower costs due to not having to move furniture out of the way with every step... so many ways to skin a cat, and they a will work.. just need to decide what works best for me an my situation I guess. 

That really adds to the difficulty level.

And they have zero skin in the game.

Sometimes, the lender's underwriting catches something we missed, leading to financing difficulties.

Lenders will require you to have some skin in the game.
