In most case, our lenders would probably ask additional questions and require clarifications when it is their first deal.

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. 

While opinions may vary, I rely on data to help drive real estate decisions and planning.Key ConsiderationsEducational Attainment: 77008 boasts higher numbers of residents with bachelor's (12,241) and master's degrees (5,739) compared to 77063.Demographics: 77063 has a higher percentage of foreign-born residents (41.02%) which typically indicates a strong rental market and with 76.86% renter-occupied versus 32.60% in 77008.Economic Factors: Median income in 77008 is $140,609 with a low unemployment rate of 3.37%, whereas 77063 shows lower median income ($51,899), higher unemployment (9.99%), and more families below the poverty level (16.51%), which may indicate economic diversity but also potential rental payment risks​​.Age Distribution: 77008 has more middle-aged residents (35-54) [8970 compared to 6,115] and a slightly higher proportion of young adults (25-34) compared to 77063 but both are popular with younger adults suggesting strong rental markets equally exist.Housing Market: 77008 features a higher percentage of family households (52.39%) and married-couple families (44.77%), suggesting stability and potential for property appreciation.Digital Advertising Demand: Houston Heights apartments (77008): 50,000 average monthly searches.

Building a solid team is a smart priority, as real estate investing is much more efficient when you have a trusted group of professionals→ agents, contractors, lenders, who understand your goals and the local market.Your plan to own four long-term rentals in the next four years is both realistic and attainable, especially with the type of property you're targeting.

@Scott TrenchThanks for the clarification.

Would love to get more clarification.

Hey Eric, Your strategy is mostly correct, but there are a few clarifications.

Hi Folks,Need some clarification on this complex topic.There is a lot of discussion on these tax nuances in BP forums, so I am happy to read any particular thread you can point me to.Basically I have a W2 (above income limits) and I am a General Partner in a multifamily deal.I have received 2 K1s from this deal (one as a GP) and another as an LP (since I put in some of my own money).Am I allowed to take the K1 losses from this deal to offset my W2 income?

However, right before closing, the terms changed drastically, and there were $4000 extra loan fees that were never disclosed during the month-long underwriting, despite my efforts to get a clarification on fees.

It gives me some clarification on the matter.
