The BRRRR strategy and tax lien investing are both great approaches, especially when you’re getting started and want to maximize your investments.I’m involved in the investment real estate space as well, primarily focusing on new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis.

I’d love to have real estate provide some financial freedom/flexibility and create a portfolio that I could eventually get my kids involved with and pass down to them, but I end up feeling frozen/stuck based on the factors above. 

However, this method often fails because it doesn't account for operating costs.

Meanwhile our local properties were having increased cash flow without the effort involved with 2 hurricanes.
