Some might disagree pointing out to REITs that never recovered pre 2008 values, but in this case their BV were inflated by high property prices.

Do you disagree, John? 

@John Delacruz from the other side of the aisle I'll disagree with the above and say that to me hard money is best suited for new investors.

@Craig Curelop gotta disagree with you man!

@Deandre LeeI’m going to disagree about not adding square footage, you can still increase the value over and above the rehab dollars by just improving the building   I’ve bought many BRRRR projects and by just rehabbing kitchens, bathrooms, etc, I have increased the value above the rehab dollars, usually by 20-30K.  

Scary at first, but we have settled in nicely and the things we were worried about a year ago seem like nothing to us now.I have to say I disagree with Sharon above for a few reasons.1.

I respectfuly disagree there are always people at your local REIA who have a lead on a few good none traditional lenders.

And your worst case then is that the IRS disagrees and you simply pay the tax and maybe interest if ever audited. 

I disagree with stating OOS investing isn't possible using BRRR.

We can agree to disagree on this.
