If your owner doesn’t play I would route for the following...The following strategy might be an interim idea hat gives you the option to test all waters.

I’m a house flipper and one of the reasons I am currently studying to get my license is because I no longer like playing the waiting game for my realtor.

It may slow demand a little in high cost areas for a minute, but when people are already buying in cashflow negative area, you really think they care that much about the cashflow or cost?

If you are marketing in the right places, there is always a price that matches demand. 

The cool guy trend seems to be towards Multi-Family, but I do not think it's the best option.MF:1) It's getting played out. 

For example, you can get a lot of demand for long-term SFR rentals in good school districts, or you can be close & convenient to Universities but not be in their immediate area. 

Getting into house hacking can be hard in markets with very high rent demand.

If they say 'yes', which they always do, unless they've been evicted a few times and know how to play the game, then the eviction is granted immediately, and you're asked if you want a damages hearing, then things go from there. 

If the demand is there and the numbers work, it can actually make sense. 

Others are slum lords that understand that game and play it well.
