Thanks in advance.

Partner Driven identified the property through our direct-to-owner strategy.

BRRRR is not a great strategy in the current market due to the mortgage rates so it's not as applicable as many think from reading older posts or books about how easy it is.

I think they contain solid information and will help lay a good foundation as a beginner (Haha, I'm completely new to real estate as well, btw)I'm also going to be reading the following books, and hopefully I can finish all by the end of this month:1) The ABCs of Property Management2) The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing3) Long-Distance Real Estate Investing How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties (this might be the most important one to me personally)4) The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownIn addition to reading, I'm consuming crazy amounts of youtube videos, and I'recommend you do this as well.

Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance you can share!

but BRRRR is not a cash flow strategy and you likely will not cash flow after the refinance.if you want 100%, no strings attached financing... that's going to have to be a family member or something like that. 

Is there decent exit strategies?

If you respond, thank you in advance.... good karma is on it's way to you! 

There's a lot for nuances to the strategy than what I typed out, but this should help you get started.

An appraisal fee in advance for an actual appraisal is legitimate, but you can find lenders that don't require appraisals and don't charge appraisal fees.
