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

They're very autonomous and don't communicate too much which doesn't demand much of your time. 

It will be very difficult to cash flow in Austin using traditional LTR methods unless you put down a huge down payment.

This depends on if you are using the Cash or Accrual method of accounting for tax purposes.

Sellers who are in financial distress or dealing with a property in poor condition might be more open to this type of arrangement if it helps them get back on their feet.The key to making this work is transparency and clear communication.

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

Cash for keys is definitely the best way to get people out in the day when I was very active at court houses steps cash for keys was by far the best way to get folks to move and bad tenants in a state with bad eviction laws to me would be the preferred method. you simply pay them when they are leaving the house not before.. that works fine and you give them more than 1k .. you make it worth their while..

Well, not long ago somebody made a post about BRRR not being a good method at this point.
