So, something to think about.Next, what methods have you used to determine what kind/size of property to purchase? 

Whomever will do her taxes when she does sell, (can be done prior, and should be asap) will have to submit a change of accounting method form .....I've had multiple clients that never took depreciation and when they sold, we had to fix it...doing your own taxes isn't as easy as some tax software companies make it seem 

It can be a bit of a juggling act, but it’s a method some investors use to grow their portfolio without waiting years for equity to build.I guess what I'm saying is, it's not just about waiting.. it's about finding creative ways to leverage what you already have.

You are interested in a certain market to use the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) method to purchase property.To find these properties, you asked how many Realtors you would contact in that area.Honestly, most Realtors do not speak investor language and are not investors themselves.

Maybe if I was younger it would make more sense, but staying with the method I've used over the last 10 years will only become more refined and efficient.

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

The returns can be superior to the stock market, but will require more patience and hands- on effort.  

My answer, yes I currently am buying a $165,000 property in Phoenix (not listed on the MLS) using one of my methods to find, using only $5,871 plus closing costs of my money.

But why would that make them want to use this financing method?

(aka the BRRR method).But, if you stay on the sidelines, acting fearful and not greedy, you will reap the benefits of neither.Again I do think we see an early pullback in 2025, in the first 100 days.
