If we were to move forward with the purchase of the second single family I do think we would be able to Brrrr this property into another STR, again if that is not successful we could always sell and make a profit (purchase + rehab should be about 75% of appraised value if goes as planned).

It sounds like you're taking a thoughtful approach to real estate, and the BRRRR method could be a great fit for you as it aligns with your goal of generating passive income.

While completing a Cost Seg study, they were very resistent to me using 6% and because of time-sensitivity, I decided to default to the "rule of thumb" method that you mentioned and used 80/20. 

I don’t know if Jerryll’s method is the only way to obtain leads efficiently, but I hope everyone else beliefs him so I can stop getting solicitations! 

I’ve been seeing a lot of interesting deals lately, but the traditional financing methods don’t always cut it for some investors.

Hello,I have several ways to fund a down payment on my first investment property and would like to know the "safest" way to do so...Cash, borrow against my 401K (and does this method constitue the start of my investments) or HELOC. 

I use a very usefull method to determine if I would invest in an area .   

Use the enemy method and see what they are doing.

I feel a bit stuck in this scenario, and I could use some advice.I'm raising some money from private investors and wanted to run some options by more experienced posters, because I'm a bit unclear as to what the best way is to structure my deals with private investors, or if there are better options that I'm not considering.Here are some rough numbers to capture a deal that is on my radar:Loan amount from investor: $110kYearly Interest Paid to Investor: 7%Monthly Rent from Property: $1300Monthly Interest-Only Payment to Investor: $642Monthly Property Taxes: $71Monthly Insurance Payment: $71Property Management fees: $104Net Cashflow: $412Now, this is not a bad outcome, and I am fine with it, but I am wondering what someone else might do differently if you were in my position - Should I charge an upfront fee to my investor (maybe $5k or so for this deal and also keep the cashflow as my monthly management fee), or would you instead use the $110k from the investor to BRRRR a bunch of deals, or would you try to just use the capital for one deal at a time?

I’m about of state investor looking to do BRRRR in Birmingham, AL.
