Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

It’s all BS.If AI truly worked, there’d be no need for DMM, D4$, cold calling, or any of these other methods.

What other methods should I use to acquire another property? 

This depends on if you are using the Cash or Accrual method of accounting for tax purposes.

Under this method each investor has ownership and voting rights.

BRRRR method is also a great way to go - good luck!  

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

I am not opposed to making this my primary method of income either.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find the right guys or methods that you use to vet people? 

Is the only way to pay for a Reno for my childhood home to sell my current home or is there a method I'm not familiar with that I can use my current homes value to help me out??
