Investing in well built properties that are able to generate positive cash flow with current rental rates2.

Using credit instead of cash for reserves is an aggressive option that can increase your investment returns, but it increases risk: will credit still be available if/when you need it?  

Are you looking for cash out?

Write yourself a check made out to 'cash' and deposit it for the funds needed.Also, you may want to check if you need to KEEP 150% of the funds needed in escrow with the town.

One thing I would add is that you can put effort on the front end into building a cash buyer list and know their criteria.

An STR property manager is going to take at least 25%, and any cash flow is gone at that point.At this point, a self-managed MTR makes more than an STR managed by a company.

People are willing to pay the high interest rate because they expect to pay off the loan quickly.If you own the home outright, you would go to a traditional bank to cash out the equity.

Plus, you get a steady flow of cash from the buyer's payments, which can be super handy, especially if you're retired and looking for a consistent income stream.

Due to interest rates and overall market conditions, sourcing SHF or small multifamily LTRs that cash flow is still challenging unless you're putting down a significant amount or finding deals off-market.Nevertheless, my team and I still have an extensive network of investors focusing on SFH deals and small multifamily acquisitions.
