Delayed Financing BRRRR (a variation on traditional BRRRR) allows you to refinance in less than 6 months, but for most traditional BRRRR investors they'll be looking to refinance at least 6 months after purchasing the property... and on a big project it might be 12 -18 months before you refinance.

Yes, BRRRR & variations of BRRRR are have been our primary investment strategy in Seattle over the last few years, and I'm happy to coach people on the strategy. 

I'm interested in discussing a full time or part time partnership (or some variation thereof) with a resident of the area, if anyone is interested; it strikes me that two motivated beginners may be better than one, especially in terms of mutual motivation and establishing (and then exceeding) comfort zones.

. - Refi and get an interest only loan, pull out about $300k in equity from her home and buy a rental propertyI'm sure there are tons more options and lots of variations here on how to do it. 

Start digging around for good deals on a place that you could live in and rent part of it out (roomates, etc.).You'd end up getting a crash course in finding and buying, plus the adventures in owning and fixing, and hopefully living for less because others would help you pay for the place.If I was starting in my twenties, I'd pull some variation of this!

I have heard so many variations...has anyone actually done a claim on those properties...paying the taxes determines ownership, but other than that is there a process you can do without probate?

Does this mean that you bought a house for - I'm making up numbers here - 200k, and the house appreciated to 300k in a 5 year period, and you did some variation of this multiple times?

Of course there is more than that, and each lender will have their own variation on how they do these. 

You may need to seek a zoning variation and 1) they take lots of patience, 2) time, 3) money and STILL may fail.Caveat emptor.

Its very thorough, but like most systems, works best for the middle of the range of PHA sizes and extremes in rental variation, as the system doesn't work well in places where there is very limited data (many rural PHAs), markets with rapidly rising/falling rental prices (SF for example), or places that have complex neighborhood divisions and wide range of rental cost within their jurisdiction (generally big cities).
