Some would argue that low cash flow is acceptable.  

But bringing up Central Florida shows cash flowat the regular/default down payment amounts.

Cash flow is a risk-adjusted function of your equity.

If you're newer to BRRRR or managing from out of state, it might make more sense to start with solid value-add rentals—fixing and renting in markets where you can still hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one.

I may be able to convince certain family members to gift me some funds so I can also have some skin in the game. 

The returns may be more modest, but I like the idea of consistent, predictable cash flow and the ability to scale quickly with less capital.I do have some assets available to invest, and ideally, I’d like to use that capital to build momentum—whether through a flip or cash-flowing STRs.I’m hoping to hear from investors who’ve stood at the same fork in the road.

Quote from @Anthony Sigala: Over the past ten years, I have not taken on any debt, and all of my cars and things have been purchased for cash.

I have a cash flowing short term rental property & I'm ready to move on to multifamily investing.

So at the end of the day, the cash flow is pretty much the same between the two.

@Todd SadowskiThe Midwest is a great place to start your search if you are looking for cash-flowing properties.
