Evaluating the numbers, lending preferences, property condition, and location will help you make an informed decision that aligns with your investment goals.

I like it, so much I'm doing almost exactly that with a partner. 

You’ll need to thoughtfully evaluate the timing for flipping, renting, or bundling properties for bulk sales, all while considering current market conditions and your financial objectives.Balancing Flips vs.

In particular know exactly what you negative equity position will be and how long it will take at conservative cash flow numbers (near 50% of rent going to expenses other than P&I).  

You’re not overleveraged, so you’re in pretty good condition to ride out a downturn.  

Another thing to think about is what kind of turnover you have, what condition the building is in. 

Local market trends: Could you share any insights into current rental market conditions and future growth projections for these areas?

Meanwhile, the sellers who are most likely to offer creative financing are normally the owners of  real estate that have issues.....condition.....low barrier/over supply market......or perhaps pricing issue, and one of these factors is why its not marketable in a arms length transaction and why creative financing would be accepted.

The right message to the right audience.Then marketing is all about value.Unless we know what exactly it is who you are targeting, it will be hard to help.Short-term rentals?

It is exactly what it sounds like, buying a property that has an existing debt on it.
