I am currently divided between straight up SFR or use a BRRRR.  

You have the skillset and business to save on value add for flips and the BRRRR strategy so you can pay more than investors who need to find a contractor.

@Vijaya Gowrisankarhello. fellow PA BRRRR investor here - on the other side of the state.if you're in Allentown, why not start there?

Is it riskier to mix house hacking with the BRRRR method?

Utilizing these methods and collaborating with local appraisers ensures accurate results.Good luck!

When you start to feel like you are starving for real estate, you are fodder for everyone out there who wants to wholesale you a dump on seller finance or some other quick method that won't work.Your only job if you want more real estate is to create more capital for yourself and more equity in your current home.

We are considering long term holds using the BRRRR method focusing on marekts that will be likely to appreciate to reach this goal but have also heard a flip in today's environment may be a better place to start. 

I've never done a fix and flip myself, I've always stuck with BRRRR because rents were the only thing that can be counted on.

I do give tenants discounts for yard work or snow shoveling, but I keep it less than what I would pay a company to do the work.As for raising the rent, use the binder method.

Hi Kris,Unless the sellers are really cooperative, it honestly sounds easier to just do a normal offer and flip/BRRRR using cash or hard money.
