I’ve used these methods to help me scale up with the 12 properties I’ve picked up in the last six years.

I know something about “creative financing” as I have successfully navigated this method of property transaction for 45 years.  

I'm currently heavily considering the PRR method (Primary, rehab, rent) where I get a SFH renovate it during the year while living in it, rent it out after the year, and repeat.

I'd check dates of values and method of valuation.

My general method is to assume (in the beginning) a sudden and drastic depreciation in order to stress test the financials and make sure the risks are managed properly to my risk appetite, which is quite hedged.

Understanding the calculation method and concept of each, and learning how to select properties for investment based on yields is important.

My method of funding my own projects was using private lenders, so I knew the process fairly well.  

Pick a strategy or method and jump in. 

Not as reliable or accurate as the above method. 

I am trying to continue acquiring properties using this method and also learning about other methods as well, but I wanted to come in here to seek some advice from professionals that I'm willing to learn from as I am barely starting my real estate journey.
