Persistence is key across any strategy that you use.For example:  I've been told "no" by 8 banks, had 2 break in's at the same property, experienced a bank cut me off because they were bought out, and their new rules said they couldn't loan to out of state investors, had my "worth his weight in gold" property manager get cancer, recover, and move to a property management company that doesn't work with small investors like myself, ran close to out of money a few times, been jerked around by US Bank a few times, had to pay $2,000 for a CPA to do my taxes last year, etc, etc.Any one of these events could have easily discouraged me towards getting out of the rental business.

Most historical societies use the Sec. of Interior guidelines as their gold standard.

It would be like asking the pick-ax salesman if there are gold in the hills to be uncovered....

Forget BRRRR, it in a climate of quickly increasing rates, low interest loans are like gold. 2.
