Thanks BP Community,CameronI’m currently living in a live-in-flip property that was seller financed, really useful when you max out your DTI from a lenders perspective. 

I definitely see the different perspectives such as Samuel's as far just taking it down myself.

Please let me know the best zipcode to invest in for good appreciation of the property at the moment in Memphis. i recently bought one in 38127 and looking into buying more in memphis but unclear on the latest market shifts from a appreciation standpoint and good rental income.. 

Your mindset shift should be: "I am looking at this as a long term investment.

There is some gray area here from the seller's perspective as not all brokers operate at the same level as I do. 

Definitely a perspective I had not considered! 

While the perspectives he and others share are valid, they can sometimes turn into trash-talking banter, which detracts from the core values of BiggerPockets.

The impact on real estate is twofold: increased demand for housing in both the rental and purchase markets, and a shift in housing preferences towards urban, tech-friendly developments with smart home features and high-speed internet connectivity.Relative AffordabilityWhile many markets are pricing out investors, San Antonio is maintaining its reputation for affordability.

Should I shift focus to appreciation and equity growth instead of cash flow?

Nathan mentioned using a syndication site to push your listing to multiple sites at one time which is also something that I recommend in order to expose your property to as many sites as possible.Some things to consider to maximize the efficiency and giving a perspective resident a great experience from the beginning to having a scheduling link available in your description for specific days and times that you can show the property so that you can capture your leads wanting to tour the property without them having to wait for a response from you and scheduling a one off time.I would recommend investigating in having professional photography taken if you are leasing in a market that has a lot of competition since your photos will have your property stand out and drive traffic.Good luck!
