Low down payments but I can still use them as leverage.

.: @Patrick RobertsThat's a lot of words to say you're advocating tax fraud since there may be a low likelihood of getting caught... 

Reach out anytime agreed. i am unfamiliar with his markets but $220 does seem very low. a sf room mate/ BRRRR strategy seems more practical

Then the prices lower towards the date and you end up booking at a low price or worse just being vacant.I think manually pricing your STR'S is a much better approach.So many people are looking for the next cool software app to buy a subscription to.

Wholesaling is a great low cost way to make a lot of short-term cash, but it does not build long-term wealth.

I also like contractors that have packets that allow you to pick out the stuff that you want to use for that project, which reduces the quality control process..

Conservative and low risk. 

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

for me, the ones that cashflow the most are the ones that I bought with 3% long term debt, they were new (low maintenance) and they are in high appreciating areas(just a bonus but does not impact cashflow).

Based on my calculations, even with a low down payment, I can achieve positive cash flow (with aggressive enough house hacking).
