Hi community,As I think about the exit strategy for going from one house hack to the next, I have realized that it would be difficult to cash out refinance and buy the next house with a minimum down payment from a primary resident loan.

Can you provide the source of that information? 

A lot of new investors are told the cash flow is low, but the appreciation is high (in a stagnant market) and they believe it.

I plan to use this investment property as a self-managed short term rental (STR) to generate cash flow.

The house created cash flow and equity, allowing me to finance and purchase the second property.

Do two: one using cash purchase and the other using a bank loan with 20% down.

I'd like to position myself as a one stop shop for home owners with distressed properties where I'd: 1) Provide a cash offer on there home - (with all the close fast, no hassle things)2) Help them list it or refer them to an agent in their area (keeping in mind that I would likely get a referral fee)3) Renovate their house for them then help them sell - I've got the team and know what renovations move the needleI'm beginning a period of what I hope to be substantial growth and I'd like to increase my flips/rentals at the same time so I'm wanting to ramp up my marketing.

If you can work remote, I would choose a market where you would like to live and where you can invest in deals that cash flow.

We are seeking guidance on a few key things about the market. 1) We've done a lot of research on the area and have been scouring MLS having trouble finding opportunities that will cash flow (the golden question, we know).

This property is intended for long- term hold, providing stability and growth potential.
