I'm on house number 4 that I've lived in and renovated, so I agree that's a good strategy (I've done it just through life, not actually a purposeful strategy). 

if you look at forced appreciation you can do that as a strategy but you are still limited by market supply, market economics, property ages you can't control. the strategy we do Is build to rent development where you build an asset 25% below market through infill site selection, land entitlement which boosts property values, as well as refinance once the property is stabilized. new construction you can't build something unless it appraises 25% below market anyways. so I think the majority of biggerpockets is focused on the strategy you mentioned but part of what I try to do is show other strategies that involve land, new construction, build to rent development, land development, land entitlements, smart asset design of smaller floor plates, infill locations where equity and values are higher, etc. we do this in Columbus Ohio.

I have been an active investor most of my life and now I enjoy passive investing.

Real estate honestly is a blessing that can create the life you truly want to live! 

@Steven Catudalthe 'no cash flow on a BRRRR' is typically just because you are boosting the ARV and then taking out the maximum amount you can on the refinance, often using a DSCR loan with a higher rate.
