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).

Low end MFH is overpriced for the current rent amounts. 

There was no chance of seller financing, and the cash investor price was too low for the sellers.  

@Ofir R.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Also, if you need a quality GC in the Charlotte and surrounding area please reach out!

The vacancy was low and rents were fair based on comps. 

We've seen some unique things in the covid era 2020-2024 like high appreciation (that is not the norm), the low interest rates we had (prior to 2022), and the past year the stock market has done incredibly well (up 20% over the last year).
