You've only owned it six months, so you probably haven't dealt with vacancies, maintenance, or capex, but you should be setting money aside for those things.Your partnership agreement (if you have one) should address exit options.

Your cash flow is positive on paper, but how will that look in reality?

Yes, you’ve got a few options to fund your live-in flip!

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Quote from @Paige Seeley: @Jay Hurst even with 20% down, what non conventional options are you talking about? 

Are there other creative options I haven’t considered?

Nobody is asking anybody to give up anything.What I am trying to ask is: from my experience, there is no positive cash flow that actually is really positive.

House hacking is probably your best option.

Out of state investing in cities within a reasonable driving distance may be a good option. 

This creates a negative initial position.
