I have used several methods that have been quite fruitful over many years. 

When looking for a property to purchase, make sure you take this into account. 2) The BRRRR method is really hard to do in Bing, especially in student areas.

If one method of communication (email in this case) doesn't work, you need to try another way (phone call). 

Let me know if you'd like to explore this further!

Liquidity: If this is your first or second property, prioritizing liquidity (by cashing out now) might allow you to seize unexpected opportunities, especially if you’re actively prospecting deals.Since you don’t have a deal lined up yet, you might explore options to minimize the gap, like prequalifying potential deals or using short-term financing strategies to bridge the 4 months.Good luck growing your portfolio!

I totally get where you're coming from—finding deals that pencil here in the Portland/Beaverton area is tough, especially with the high cost of living and interest rates.One approach that’s been working for some investors locally is exploring opportunities with mid-term rentals (MTRs) or hybrid MTR/STR setups.

Live in one unit and rent out the others to cover your mortgage.Seller Financing: Negotiate terms with the property seller where they act as the lender, often requiring a smaller down payment and bypassing traditional underwriting.Partnerships or Joint Ventures: Partner with an investor who provides the capital in exchange for a share of the property’s equity or income.Lease Options: Use a rent-to-own agreement, which allows you to control the property while saving for a formal purchase.BRRRR Method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat): Acquire a distressed property with short-term financing, rehab it to increase value, rent it out, and refinance to recoup your initial investment.Pro TipStay in close communication with your lender as you approach your next purchase.

I see you mentioned the BRRR method, here's a nice breakdown of it here on Bigger Pockets.   

I recently purchased my first investment property and am now focused on exploring opportunities in the Kansas City multifamily market for my next acquisition.Kansas City holds a special place in my heart—my family is from KCK, and I’ve always had strong ties to the area.

I’ve found success by networking at local meetups, connecting with real estate agents, and exploring online platforms to discover these opportunities.
