I’m interested in using private money to get started and continue using the BRRRR method as I love value add and I’m able to do a lot of the work myself.

I'm mainly interested in the BRRR method and in small multi-family, but all the strategies seem exciting to me, and I may want to try each at some point!

This method has gained popularity among developers looking to build affordable housing quickly and sustainably.Additionally, developers have diversified their portfolios by introducing new product types such as townhomes, duplexes, and triplexes.

Over the last 6-7 months, I’ve been doing my best to “get smart” on real estate investing, starting off with Rich Dad principles, which led to Rich Dad Advisor (McElroy, Sutton, etc.) audiobooks, which led to BP podcasts and doing YT research on tax benefits…I’m feel ready to take action and start putting everything into practice but still not certain which method is best for my first investment property.

You won't save 20% by hiring your own subs, you will lose money doing it that wayNo one wishes you ill, just remember no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, so all your advance planning needs to be accompanied by a strong sense of "how to adapt", good persuasive and communication skills and backup plans.  

Plenty of appraisers have little to no experience in STRs as this asset class (if one wants to even call it that) is relatively new in the REI space, and thus, the method suggested above is probably not that likely to succeed. 

We have sent you a few emails with property options in November of 2019 with no reply and I don’t see any other communication other than that between myself or anyone else on my team.

The minimum six-month to two-year redemption period is also a major problem for a lender.If you don't have your own money, the best method is to raise private capital. 

I'd love to learn more engaging dialogue that can motivate property owners to seriously consider owner financing methods.

I prefer they mail a check and they do 90% of the time but if they really push the issue I use the previously mentioned methods.
