@Desstani R.Investing in single family homes for short-term rentals can generate higher cash flow and flexibility, but can be management-intensive.

I'd recommend adding those as they'll adjust your returns.  

We get primary residence loans for <10% down, we have the power of creativity, and if we're planning smart - we also have the opportunity to ride the wave of interest rates because we're much less dependent on adjustable rate loans.• If you want to get involved in syndications or passive real estate investing but you don't have enough in liquid cash for the minimum investment, you can use your retirement accounts like a self-direct IRA to do so!

Being harder on the property means more intensive repairs & maintenance, particularly on a unit turn.3) If your focus is just cashflow, this may be a good strategy because the tenants tend to stay longer and the rent is backed by the government. 

I could model what held-for-sale properties would potentially sell for and on a weekly basis adjust our model parameters based on what winning bids were for the week.

This market is extremely tight and you might have to adjust your math to make things worse. 

If you have no liquid capital, everything becomes more time and labor intensive.

I imagine the latter would help conserve water usage, but the prior is easier and some tenants don't want to pay for hot water but they could run up the bills at my expense and I'd have to wait 1yr to adjust usage.

Increased Buyer Interest: When prices are adjusted to more realistic levels, properties become more attractive to potential buyers, leading to increased interest and potentially faster sales.3.

The vast majority of states also leverage figures on a federal return as a starting point to define taxable income, making adjustments to those figures to arrive at the portions of income that are taxable for state tax purposes.
