Take your 25K and invest it in a cheap property that you can practice if you are new to Real Estate and if it does not work you still have the property you sell it and recuperate your invested money your money stays in your pocket and there is a big chance with a profit ask to biggerpockets what to do if you do not knowI do not believe in GURUS It is opt to you.

This is how a BRRRR should work and using leverage correctly leaves more cash available for other deals while you're rehabbing AND you still get to recuperate your initial investment (with some nice profits also). 

What was your overall COC Return and were you able to recuperate all funds with cashout refi?

Originally posted by @Alex Kukin:@Frank PatalanoThe uncertainty...I keep listening to the webinars, learning various ways to invest in real estate, to produce cash flow and grow equity, but one major thing that’s holding me back is the uncertainty.What if I get “screwed by the contractors”, “what if I don’t find tenants for too long and have to incur losses which won’t be possible to recuperate”, “what if the tenants don’t pay and trash the house”, “what other hidden icebergs that I don’t know about will surface once I start investing”?

To my {dated and limited} knowledge you may only recuperate filing costs, interest (on unpaid balances) and a reasonable administrative fee, in addition to amounts owed, when making application to the Régis for assistance (such is unpaid rent).

If you want to attempt to recuperate some of what you paid, I would bring all the documentation you have to a lawyer and see what your best options are.

Did you somehow recuperate your money? 

Owners are going to want to recuperate all the lost capital.

Hope to recuperate rehab costs of $60,000.
