My challenge to anyone in CA, specifically the Bay area, is to post a link to the methodology used in the "study".

Michael, if the BRRRR methodology does not work for you, which one do you use to be in congruency with your 9-5?

In my opinion, his methodology is one way of going about financial freedom.

I feel like I need to change methodology.

RDPD is great for mindset but the “meat and potatoes” is all in Cash Flow Quadrant, and that book truly changed my life.I’ve given out dozens of hard copies to friends and am a believer in its methodology.

Furthermore they teach you outdated methodologies that may have worked 5-10 years ago.

One being after the bombshell they released in April that only 69% of tenants made their payments on time, they changed their methodology to include partial payments, payment plans, and using security deposits which bumped up May and June to 80%.

I have always been a fan of the "Ready, Shoot, Aim" methodology.

It includes, among other things, a comprehensive map of the Cleveland area, grading each area from A+ down to F, using a consistent, objective and transparent methodology using publicly available data (as opposed to some of the maps/guides that brokers have created, based primarily on their subjective opinions).

@Darion Smith, properties with 2-4 units, while technically multifamily, are not considered commercial properties and so are valued based on CMA/sales comparable methodology and not based on NOI.
