It can be a bit of a juggling act, but it’s a method some investors use to grow their portfolio without waiting years for equity to build.I guess what I'm saying is, it's not just about waiting.. it's about finding creative ways to leverage what you already have.

@Elizabeth RossFor properties under 100k you will likely need to use the BRRR method as its difficult to get a 30Y loan on a properties valued under 100k.

Obviously if you’ve done this before you likely have a method you prefer for dealing with these types of things.

The most reliable method to locate liens and their positions is to conduct a title search through a title company.

But I am so intrigued with the BRRRR method just not sure this is the one for that.

I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?

Having them deposit the funds in your account each month is the only other viable method IMO.

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.
