As Jay and I have warned, WAY too many of the people grasping to this SubTo method SHOULDN'T do it.

That way, you can get your foot in the door, start building equity, and stay at home a bit longer to save more money.You could also consider the BRRRR method where you buy a fixer-upper, rehab it to add value, rent it out, and then refinance to pull your cash back out.

I have used this method in the past and 90% of time has worked, perhaps I was just lucky, I'm not an attorney but based my thoughts on common sense and what I have read. 

This will not only broaden my exposure to the market but also help me network with other investors and professionals as I work towards my long-term goals.My aim is to start buying properties for myself in 2026, as I’ll need some time to get my finances in order.I’m excited to be a part of this community and would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or guidance you can share.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: ....But I set the goal of acquiring 50 doors in the next 3 years using the BRRRR method and will then be financially free...isn't that a scalable business :)We see the above type comments from not so experienced investors or business owners all the time being posted on BP.  

It should only take a few months using that method... 

I would encourage you to learn the market you plan to invest in now and to continue to learn about the different methods of investing.

Was looking to save where possible in this market but the method I proposed is not worth the consequences. looks like 20% down it is!

These methods include: Detailed Engineering Cost ApproachDetailed Engineering Cost Estimate ApproachSurvey or Letter ApproachResidual Estimation ApproachSampling or Modeling ApproachExperience or “Rule of Thumb” ApproachIt’s important to understand the differences between the approaches including which one best fits your property and the reliability of each approach.DETAILED ENGINEERING COST APPROACHThis approach compiles the costs from construction and accounting reports to build a report.

Any recommendation for the first steps I should take if I want to purchase my first rental property using the BRRRR method (or flipping).
