., FTC, FBI for the last couple of years doesn't mean you are "in the clear".

In case I wasn't clear, you need a real estate lawyer in your state!

The biggest lesson, which I learned early on: get clear on the type of property you want to buy, then tell everyone over and over again.

I recall reading about it in CNBC...The quest for solid returns in our current market might feel daunting with interest rates where they are, but the good news is.. if you find the right deal and set clear criteria.. like a minimum cash flow target, or a plan for eventual refinancing.. your numbers can still work out.

Network with local investors, undertake extensive due diligence, and develop a clear exit strategy.

To me, signing a broad exclusivity agreement kills your bubble; you're now cut off from every other agent's network.Of course, it has to be worth the agent's while to bring you a deal over someone else, so try and offer something of value like a finder's fee or, if you're flipping, the right to list the renovated house with the agent. 

Many of us have been there but you may not be cut out for real estate.

Clearly there's a lot more ROI and work for a BRRRR.After finishing David Greene's BRRRR book and combing the forums, my impression is it'll come down to building the right team and doing our due diligence on finding and analyzing deals, estimated ARV, rehab costs, and rent /demand for an area with the most conservative estimates. 

This saves me a lot of communication time as I only need to respond to inquiries with cut and paste responses with the open house day/time and I only need to show the rental twice a week. 7.

Cutting our losses and selling was difficult, but it was the best option given our financial woes.I’d love to hear from others—has anyone else faced something this unexpected during a BRRRR or flip?
