I have experience with fix & flip/rehab loans and DSCR - big hitters for the BRRR method! 

I finished your book the other day, "Real Estate by the Numbers," which has allowed me to add a few more powerful metrics to my underwriting methods.

However, if you're talking about flooring, tile, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, etc... that will add up quickly. 2) Did you confirm the market rents in several ways/methods?

@Donald Wilson Back in the 90’s, many consumer loans had an early payoff calculation done by the method called “Rules of 76”.  

But most importantly, focus on partnering with a lender who is experienced in investment properties and the BRRRR method.

I know there’s many methods but I think this is the simplest one.

The easiest way to do this outside of some sort of scraping tool (which i recommend digging into), is to develop a solid list of ways to look for deals (not just zillow or mls), and then develop a super specific buy box, then just create custom filters with notifications where applicable, you can also use a VA to look through the various acquisition methods and send you a vetted list every day. 

Some popular methods include seller financing, which allows investors to avoid traditional lenders by negotiating terms directly with the seller, and leveraging private or hard money loans to secure fast funding with flexible terms.

I know there are investment platforms where sponsors can connect with investors, often at a premium, but I’m curious about other proven methods that don’t involve purchasing a list of accredited investors.For those of you who have successfully raised capital, what approaches have worked best for you?

Things like running numbers, estimating renovation costs, determining market rents are not things you can read a book and learn.Third, I think selling is the easiest part of my job.
