When it comes to cash flow - Honestly that's a function of how you manage your business, your strategies, and what submarket you choose to explore.   

I use zillow rent payments to collect rent for all my customer's properties and then forward the owner the rent minus my 10% commission. 

Haha,ok...I was wondering what is this strategy called?

It used to be a better strategy but I do not feel it works well anymore. 

Firstly, I would identify what strategy you’re looking to use.

Just make sure their products align with your investing strategy, and get a feel for their guidelines so you can edit your boy box with your realtor so you do not waste your time chasing down deals that no lender will touch. 

My investment strategy revolves around viewing cash flow as a tool to build reserves for both short and long-term capital expenditures.One key aspect of wealth accumulation in real estate, as you rightly mentioned, is the gradual reduction of your principal mortgage balance by others and the accrual of forced equity and natural equity through market appreciation.I operate Elevation Appraisal in the valley and serve as an agent with Windermere Bozeman.

Dollar General and Dollar Tree have been building ~1,000 stores each in the U.S. each year for over a decade, and I've read people on the forums who have pursued strategies for building and leasing specifically to these players at a high volume.How is this rate of new builds sustainable, and how can we determine the point of saturation, when the pipeline ends?

Again- not profitable- this is not an investment strategy.

I want to use the new 5% conventional on a four-plex unit-to-house hack (MTR strategy) in Cincinnati, OH.
