I wasn't able to find another lender who would require less than 30% cash and lots of points, so I didn't qualify with any other lender either and had to release the contract. 

All that extracted cash isn't a taxable gain.

The cash yield from the loan would be greater than the yield from renting the property, even with area appreciation. 

If you don’t care about cash flow year 1 you can go down as low as 6% cap rate and still break even.

I can pay for all my problems using the cash flow from my current rentals.

Currently in Nashville, TN, with a primary residence and a SFH rental with strong cash flow.

After hearing that I definitely got excited and started counting chickens before they hatched, as 1800-2000 extra dollars a month would super charge my cash flow.

However, while we were cleaning up, we treasure hunted out at least $3000 stuff, including $300 cash on the floor, several un-opened Amazon boxes, new-in-box computer/gaming items, hair tool ($300), YouTuber's gadgets, new with tag heated jacket ($220), an unassembled exercise bench ($500 at least), so many new or near new stuff that you can sell.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Duplex with large basement unit What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You're going to start bleeding cash hoping that it works.
