Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for sharing such thoughtful and detailed advice about scaling with the BRRRR strategy. I'm blown away by how generous you all were with your time and insights.

Hearing your real-world experiences with financing, managing projects, and navigating today’s market gave me so much clarity. The candid advice about balancing quality, building the right team, and adapting to challenges really hit home. It’s reassuring to know there’s a supportive community of experienced investors willing to share their hard-earned lessons.

I’ve taken a ton of notes and feel much more prepared to move forward with a smarter, more intentional approach. I look forward to learning more from all of you and contributing in return as I progress in my real estate journey.

Thanks again!

Best,

I'm looking to scale my real estate portfolio using the BRRRR method but want to understand how investors manage to do multiple deals in a year. What are the best strategies to fund and execute several BRRRR projects simultaneously while waiting for refinancing to free up capital?

I’m particularly curious about:

1. Financing Options: What types of loans or funding sources work best when scaling quickly?
2. Project Management: How do you manage timelines and avoid bottlenecks when handling multiple rehabs at once?
3. Lender Recommendations: Are there specific lenders or programs that work well with investors focused on multiple BRRRR deals annually?

I'd appreciate any advice, tips, or personal experiences from those who've successfully scaled using the BRRRR strategy. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I’m running into a challenge with selling my property and would love to get your feedback. The house is 3,700 sq ft and currently listed at $108/sq ft, which is well below the $135–$155/sq ft range for other homes in the neighborhood. Despite the competitive pricing and the fact that it’s been completely remodeled (new roof, HVAC units, windows, floors, appliances—you name it), it’s still sitting on the market.

I’m trying to figure out how to get this property to sell faster while still turning a profit. I realize being the largest house in the neighborhood can be a drawback, but I thought the upgrades and price point would offset that.

Does anyone have tips or strategies for marketing a property like this? Or ways to address the “biggest house in the neighborhood” issue? I’m open to any advice you can offer!

Thanks in advance for your help

Welcome, Jeremy and Penny! Wow, your background and vision are incredible.

Hi @Savannah Holzer,

Thank you for the welcome! I’m looking forward to connecting with other flippers and learning from their experiences.

I haven’t invested in areas like Little Rock or Fayetteville yet, but I’ve been seriously considering starting. Both markets have a lot of activity and seem to offer great potential. It’s always helpful to hear what others think about these areas—do you have any experience with them?

Thanks again for reaching out, and I hope we get the chance to connect more!

Hi @Jaycee Greene,

Thank you for the warm welcome and the compliment on my name! No relation to Stetson from UGA, but I’ll take the connection as a compliment.

You’ve posed a great question. One area I recognize I’m lacking in is networking. I joined BiggerPockets specifically to address this and to build relationships with people from diverse backgrounds and locations. Expanding my network is a priority, not only to find new opportunities but also to eventually be in a position to provide those opportunities to others.

I know that scaling a business requires collaboration with others who can bring expertise in areas like financing strategies, legal structuring, and scaling operations. I’m open to learning more in those areas myself but would welcome the opportunity to bring talented individuals onto my team who can fill those gaps as well.

I’m looking forward to learning from and connecting with this community. Thanks again for reaching out!
