This is a viable strategy, but keep in mind you may not always end up with the property, particularly if there is equity, generally 20%+ above payoff amount as it may be picked up by a 3rd party bidder. 

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.

The buyer is willing to offer $50k for the property as part of a seller financing deal with a chunk paid at the beginning and the remaining amount spread across 5 years and after which, the buyer will refinance and take over the mortgage.

I believe there are high interest bearing amounts that are similar to CD rates but they give you the flexibility of having all the funds available to you immediately.

Being able to do min one week stays would be nice if that would allow the property to generate more revenue.If the property has already appreciated a fair amount in 2 years it would be a bummer to sell now just because the rate is high.

A good property manager knows how to fix problems.

Some people in the field do as much as 30%, but the amount is what you are comfortable with.

I am using an app for wholesale listings in my area but even those won't cash flow as buy/hold (it is more for fix/flip).
