We have and continue to purchase small and large multifamily properties always with slight value-add opportunity that are cash-flowing day one but allow for "forced appreciation", slight increases in rent based on minimal renovations, thus achieving both.

You may also need to search outside the area a little bit or potentially less desirable areas if that achieves your overall financial and lifestyle goals. 

Do my research, pick a number I am trying to achieve, but if I don't get the number I am looking for, there are other options out there. 

This is a great place to learn and to meet people so take advantage of all the great resources.Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersI hope BP helps you achieve your goals!

Then, it's a matter of getting relief as soon as possible so that you can foreclose on the property and sell at FC sale or sell as REO.Another option is to hold the loan as a re-performer to achieve your desired yield.

I learned a long time ago that my goals represent things not yet achieved and some degree of fear stands between my reaching those goals. 

Spent all day yesterday talking to lenders finally came across one that had an achievable criteria for my first fix & flip.

Also am very interested in using the BRRRR strategy to achieve my goals.  

It'd be a nice way to add NOI but would not achieve the rental premiums you're looking for. 

I try to achieve cashflow and appreciation so I invest predominantly in SFH in areas that are appreciating - Huntsville is my favorite market at the moment.
