Hello,I am interested in purchasing a short term rental in the Ludlow, VT market but am struggling to cash flow in my analysis.

You must reinvest all “cash” $525k (if that’s net) minus $268k mortgage is $257k. 

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.

My goal is long-term appreciation on a property w/sufficient cash flow to make a long-term hold practical.

Improving the house can Increase your cash flow a little. 

I am extremely interested in assuming a mortgage, seems like a way to have a cash flowing monster after you move out of the property. 

It easier for tenants to feign attempts at assistance, thereby extending the timeline for any necessary evictions which does ultimately impact my cash flow.
