It works for me in Utah because there is no other way I can think of to make a house cash flow here without putting 50% down.

They are the ones who also have the mortgage office which is what a lot of the servicers use but that is an overkill and way to expensive.I also know some people have created flows withing clickup and other project management systems. 

Obviously with it being vacant and getting ready to rent, it’s not making any cash flow, so how does that work.

Bare bones cash-flow machines.

Are you cash flow oriented, appreciation oriented, looking at resale value, etc. what class markets/neighborhoods are you considering?

So, I prefer to keep things clean and simple with new leases. 3.

Are you cash flowing the property?

Let's be clear - if you buy in an A or B neighborhood just about anywhere, your cash flow will be zero or negative.  

You want to focus on the better neighborhoods here and not invest as if this is instant cash flow.

Vacancy is an understated expense, besides the lost rent there is painting, cleaning, and other repairs.
