The BRRRR strategy is doable for a newer investor, but it requires a lot of effort, consistency, and hands-on involvement—it's not exactly a passive way to invest.Whichever route you choose, if you're taking on the bulk of the work to analyze deals and select the best ones, it’s important to ensure your partnership reflects the time and energy you’re putting in.

A complete overhaul of the kitchen and bathrooms, including cabinets, countertops, LVP flooring, electrical and plumbing fixtures.

Electrical work, plumbing, foundation, windows, roofing, and AC/Heat.

Perhaps I'm an old out of touch birdie, but if I made $292,000 a MONTH doing land contracts, I would focus all of my time and energy on that and adding to it.

All of this at $0 cost, just some time, energy and effort. 

What markets get you closer to your goals and harmonize with your time, energy, and resources? 

I assumed that when I said I needed to rehab the kitchen, I didn't need to remind the contractor that we needed electrical outlets.

In Milwaukee the weather can get pretty cold and we want to protect the tenant, but also the pipes in the property from freezing.For that reason we do have a stockpile of emergency equipment which includes electric space heaters.

Kitchen cabinet handles were placed upside down, cabinet doors were installed backwards, electrical line for thermostat was ran on the inside of the bedroom exposed, trash swept into newly installs vents from the furnace, cracked tub, wall switches were installed sideways in some rooms, wall outlets were installed upside down on some walls, list goes on.

there are of course more creative strategies to reduce that up front outlay, or recoup your capital, like, say, the BRRRR method. but they are time and energy intensive and certainly not hands-off.
