I know that buying and holding is a strategy to reduce some of the costs that you would see in buying and immediately renting.  

I would also be curious to see if they are finding the availability of skilled labor challenging, and if so, any strategies to address it.

If you have discretionary cash, lines of credit and 401k borrowing for plenty of quick cash, what is the top strategy to put them all to work?

Here is the strategy I use.......I don't do showings.I got sick and tired of my time being wasted so many times, even when I would call and confirm with the person that they were still coming, and still they wouldn't show up.

I have enough capitol to buy the property cash, however that would mean me losing out on the fantastic BRRRR strategy and tying up money that I could put into future investments. 2 questions:Is there a version of BRRRR where I could self-finance the buying and renovating, then somehow refinance my money back out of it?

Quick notes about me: I was born and raised in NYC (Queens, Long Island) Current 2-family rental is in Queens Village I work full-time at a growth-stage technology company in NYC on their Strategy team My goals are to get 10 additional doors under my management in the next 3 years. 

I am interested in using the BRRRR strategy but have very little knowledge on what repairs/rehabs cost.  

My thought is I can buy the raw land, and sell it back to the owner of the main parcel, who recently purchased it from a bank as an REO.The property has access to a main road without going through the other parcel, but is currently behind a contiguous fence from the other parcel.Does this strategy make sense, or am I putting myself in a poor position by doing this.
