The property prices are very high and there will be barely any returns after expenses.So need the advice of pros on this forum.

Barely cash flows and negative when renters move out for another costly rehab.Major benefit is place is well care for, I check on it every 1-3 months, renters keep the place clean/well care for, lawn always done vs LTRs where condition is always trashed requiring about 20K every 2 yrs. 

Barely. 

Inexpensive and bare bones.

When the application process turns into pulling teeth to barely get someone qualified.

Rates have doubled but the home prices in San Diego have barely declined. 

My market is barely down in value, so the returns on financed properties are down significantly. 

I want start of with single family homes  but I barely have money to put a decent down payment.

I will not go in to which strategy is better, because I see some of my colleagues here addressed this already ,  and I'm sure more will follow.what I do wanna bring out Is a very important point that I see many flippers do not take in consideration.in your case for example a turn key will cost 140k and rehab will cost 120k, barely a 20k differedifdifference, that's if everything goes good.1.

Now I believe this a pretty bare-bones plan for my future and have been wondering exactly how I can go about funding my first flip at 18 years old.
