Also, anytime I hear new techniques online "I trust but verify" before adapting anything new.

How do y’all (those who have used the BRRRR technique) manage to keep your DTI low so that you can qualify for that refi?

An area that I want to strengthen before I start speaking with sellers is my negotiation techniques.

Hey @Michael Kotas,Sorry to hear about your mother.One technique I often speak with real estate investing professionals is comparing alternatives.

The same market conditions that affect large apartment complex vacancies will generally also affect 4-plex vacancies in a down market.Advantages of having a fourplex is limiting downside risk and having peace of mind by locking 30-year rates (as some people have mentioned). 2-4 unit buildings also allow cash constrained investors to get in on the RE game, particularly with techniques like house hacking. 

The bottom line, is that there is no one gauge or tool and you must do your own research and "comps", using as many tools and techniques as possible, to get the most accurate actionable data. unless you have a trustworthy competent realtor/broker on your team, that is already doing that for you.I am not realtor or broker.

Sounds like a good technique to teach my kids.

I wanted a honest answer on whether or not wholesaling real estate is a lucrative business to enter, I want to know before I spend a large amount of time and effort learning this investment technique.

Hey ehsan I appreciate your response, I’m going to take your advice on the marketing technique with the market I’m in little capital is hard to work with, but staying consistent on one brand of marketing and still continuing to save I’m more than capable of achieving my first deal...appreciate you

My goal is to continue learning new techniques to add in my real estate tools box.It will be great if we can connect.Regards Jay -Jay
