Couple of options perhaps1) Look elsewhere where you have boots on the ground in cash-flowing markets 2) Pursue off market deals - takes a lot of time and knowledge though, you sound like a busy professional3) Live-in house hack - that's if you were staying longer though, if you're forced to move and your rent doesn't cover expenses and the cycle ends, you're stuck
