Between 20–25% down, closing costs, and initial rehab reserves, it’s common for total cash outlay to reach the $60K+ range even on a smaller property.That said, there are creative financing options that can help you conserve capital and scale faster:Private or hard money lending for acquisition and rehab — allowing you to refinance into long-term DSCR financing once stabilized.Partnerships or joint ventures where you bring the deal and management, and a capital partner contributes funds.Seller financing or “subject-to” structures — especially with motivated sellers sitting on free-and-clear properties.Portfolio/Blanket loans that can free up equity from other assets to fund your next purchase.It really comes down to your long-term strategy: if your goal is steady cash flow and long-term holds, tying up capital in a solid asset can make sense.

Asked this same question a lot--here's my two cents--first define what you're trying to work towards & when you want to get there--a lot of people want passive income with minimal effort then get upset when their "sanity" currency becomes over leveraged--check out Robert Allen's shift--he started as a massive creative financing & BRRR promoter then went the turn key route --DM if interested, can expand 

I focus on the BRRR strategy with a long-term buy and hold approach.
