These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

Congrats on the first steps. 

Every step of the way it is complicated, counter intuitive, and time consuming. 

Some investors rely on the BRRRR method to keep their capital working, but in a high-rate market, a short-term strategy like flipping a property could also provide a quick cash injection to maintain growth.

—it sounds like you're already taking some great steps to prepare.

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

Right now, we’re seeing a slight increase in inventory and some corrections in rents, which could create opportunities—but achieving solid cash flow on a condo can still be challenging.Getting pre-approved is a great first step to narrow down your options and focus on locations that make sense for your goals.

It’s frustrating to hear you had to step in and handle the process yourself while still being charged a full fee.

These two methods seem to be the easiest path to 800+.
