I have dabbled in real estate, but never heard of brrrr before now, and transparently never did much research outside of knowing that property ownership was a way to reduce my taxable income. 

I had one investment in a syndication that would have been a total loss however the sponsor made good and repaid principal . so 3 year no return.. which is just fine by me personally I am not one who goes crazy if the return is lower or does not happen to me its principal i care about.. 

While I could have gone lower I am lowering my risk tolerance because I expect a recession in late 2019 to 2020.

Account Closed if you do a seller finance you could get a lower interest rate from HO then you can get at the bank.

Could the prices be lower than the MLS?

They are often located in lower-income neighborhoods and may need maintenance or renovations.

And offset the previous FHA loan payment showing that you're making the payments for it so it lowers his DTI.

In addition, due to them being eligible for conventional non-commercial financing they typically have lower cap rate than 5 units and more.  

The problem with using credit card funding is it destroys your DTI and thus lowers your credit score.

So I agree that a private law suit may not be financially worth it for someone that invested a lower amount of capital, but we can see that there are people that have already posted on BP that they invested huge amounts like $850,000 for one person, and >$1M for another.
