I'm deploying some in stocks, some oil, some crypto.. and want exposure to RE. 

Hey Lucas, You could finance your first BRRRR and it may be a smarter strategy than deploying all of your liquid reserves into one property for the next 3-12 months (Depending on the loan for the refi). 

Happy to share the pros and cons we've experienced over the years.Not sure how much capital you're looking to deploy, but it sounds like it's maybe possible you could potentially get into the small multifamily space. 

I can only conclude that someone with a lot of cash was getting anxious to deploy their money quickly and was willing to pay well above what the broker (and many buyers) thought it would sell for.Perhaps it is not such a bad time to sell!

We sold 2 of his lots about 2 months ago.A) The investor decided to sell the lots and deploy their funds elsewhere.

I think the #1 most ridiculous poster is the person living in a desirable, high-appreciation location who has plenty of capital to deploy who asks which crappy undesirable market thousands of miles from where they live is the best place to buy their first investment property.

One of the strategies being deployed in East Garfield is to provide fully furnished rooms with internet and washer/dryers and rent by the room to graduate and medical students as the area is not that far from the Medical district. 

Then look at what amount of capital, time, and energy you can deploy which will help determine your market. 

Has anyone deployed this method and found success?

When you exit a deal, what normally ends up happening (like Tom Brady keep winning more Super Bowls) is that you go into two more deals (with now double the amount of capital) and you will likely find that with those new K1s you could result in you having way more passive losses you began with If you can see where this is going... yes, experienced investors with a lot of capital deployed might have 500k-1M+ suspended passive losses and have not paid taxes in years and do not appear to pay taxes for years!
