I talked with Chris Sadler at Reva and to stay in theDST will mean no payments at all because the money will go to reserves for a unknown future.And to sell DST will only bring about a little more than 50 cents on the dollar. 

BRRRR method is also a great way to go - good luck!  

Also, not very easy to use typical methods of valuation like comparable sales - there is no public tax assessor's website that you can just freely grab this from. 

I am trying to get a hard money loan to start with the BRRR method.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find the right guys or methods that you use to vet people? 

Is the only way to pay for a Reno for my childhood home to sell my current home or is there a method I'm not familiar with that I can use my current homes value to help me out??

No other methods of payment accepted, written into the lease.

Hello @Yvonne Wang,The scope of work should include the following:- Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client- Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work- Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items.

I could also just do RUBS on each of the 4 units based on # of occupants or square footage or another method (which is best???).

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
