To start, I’d like to ask you a question: What is more important, purchasing real estate where you can obtain 100% return of your capital through the BRRRR investment method but otherwise break even or even worse lose money or alternatively  leave some of your capital in the deal but earn a profit when the property is sold? 

What was your preferred method for sourcing/ screening tenants?

Right now, the one that has been catching my attention the most is the BRRRR method.

It just sounds like the BRRRR method but for business.

My thinking is that with a heloc as the downpayment or in this case with a foreclosed property, it would 100% of purchase price, I could refinance using traditional methods and pay myself back.  

Some other measure.... or some combo of the above or any other fair & equitable method appropriate for your situation.As long as it's easy, clear and well-explained in writing - and plainly laid out in the Tenants' leases - it will be fine! 

i’ve heard a lot about this method . the thing i’m confused about is how would i convince a lender to give me their money.. like if it’s my first time, will they just trust me? 

Let’s discuss the hidden costs and potential pitfalls of traditional financing methods that many investors overlook.

@Mitchell HeinThe easiest way to describe the difference isA single stage system is like a pitcher with only a fastball.

It's not feasible and the easiest for most people.
