@Ronit Lodd as a tax professional, I’ve seen people use all types of methods.

Communication is SEVERELY lacking from all the agents involved plus the brokerage.Finally, I just drive to the sellers house in person and knock on the door.

While completing a Cost Seg study, they were very resistent to me using 6% and because of time-sensitivity, I decided to default to the "rule of thumb" method that you mentioned and used 80/20. 

Hello Everyone,My name is Carlene and I am a new real estate investor interested in brrrr method of investing.

Long term rentals are unattractive in CA imo especially since you can earn a lot more with different rental strategies even doing mid term rentals will still probably be more profitable than doing a long term rental.As far as hiring a contractor or bringing in subs for each item that will come down to how much you want to be involved, you'll save money finding and subbing out individual jobs but it will take you longer and you will need to manage everyone you hire and contract to do business with whereas a contractor will manage all that for you but there will be a premium put onto the price obviously for that. 

With my background in law, currently studying in Indonesia, and my experience as a real estate agent, I’ve seen firsthand the opportunities and legal considerations involved in such investments.

If you don’t think it’s a good method, then don’t do it.

I don’t know if Jerryll’s method is the only way to obtain leads efficiently, but I hope everyone else beliefs him so I can stop getting solicitations! 

I’ve been seeing a lot of interesting deals lately, but the traditional financing methods don’t always cut it for some investors.

A great strategy to use for buying rental properties is the BRRRR method.
