To use the BRRRR method, target 2-4 unit properties, look for emerging neighborhoods, network with local contractors, factor in property taxes, and work with an investor-friendly agent.Good luck!

Quote from @Mathew Fuller: Hello BPLooking to network with investors experienced with the BRRRR model in Cleveland metro area.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

I’m here to expand my network, connect with investors, hard money lenders, and fellow professionals, and collaborate on value-driven real estate opportunities.

I want to make a network with agents that can give me access to distressed properties but having a harsh time on networking pls help me and guide me.

Networking at events is a great way to connect with people in your community and find an investor who may be willing to be your mentor.  

The real benefits are that you'll learn a lot, grow your network and meet a ton of subcontractors (this is CRITICAL if you want to be a GC), learn the construction process, and (like Bruce said) if the GC likes/trusts you they'll probably sign off on the experience even if you're still a year or two short.

Be sure to attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and check out the forum topics specific to your goals.
