The properties you inherit are rarely the properties you would have bought with your own money. 

I will assume the same rate of return for reinvested money. 

.- Try to find off market deals for way cheaper (e.g. using hard money, then refi into a rental loan)- Try to find properties where the owner will finance a big part of it and you get only a small loan with higher interest rates for the down payment.- Get a property subject to where you take over payments for a loan with lower interestfeel free to reach out and discuss some ideas

It's unlikely to cash flow, meaning you are losing money every month.

Most I know who've done this in the past say it's not worth the time and money.

Another option would be to contact a hard money lender.

What you are proposing is the classic money loss situation unfortunately.

Thank you for this information, I am assuming by non-conventional you mean hard money, bridge loan, etc. 

It can provide some decent money with little work.

It was during this challenging time that I made a decision to prioritize saving money on a monthly basis.
