I’m not suggesting you can’t successfully complete the BRRRR method but if you are selecting your markets based on where that strategy is most attainable you’re going to make regretful investment decisions because most who chime in will promote markets where you will be able to obtain a favorable cash out refinance while ignoring everything else that supports whether the market has a good underlying investment thesis or has a a more attainable alignment of sale values and appraisal values.
