Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Using the money from selling that home to continue buying ETF’s (paying dividends) and continue offering private money loans to home flippers I partner with. 

What if I don’t fix then they will not pay the deposit to me ?

Please tell me you didn't pay them any money upfront!

Will you put up seasonal decor (Christmas) or pay someone to do it? 

I have a strong work ethic and don't shy away from hard physical labor thanks to my granddad making me carry pack of shingles up on roofs at 6am during my summer when I was 11 years old, my pay was dinner that night lol. 

It offers more flexibility and you're only paying back what you use.Another alternative would be a business line of credit.

Getting a W2 job is always a good option that makes it so you can pay your bills.   

I keep seeing posts about HB 24-1098 which severely restricts a landlords ability to evict non paying tenants or restricting folks on rental assistance from the government.  

As for renting, going cash flow negative isn't great, and your home isn't likely to appreciate as fast as it would if it was a single family home, so holding with hopes of increasing appreciation may be a verrrry slow play, but if you can afford to hold, having a tenant pay down your mortgage is an additional great benefit to real estate investing.
