I personally like this method better.

You'll normally need close to 2% rent to ARV to comfortably cash flow in Cleveland with the BRRR method due to the property taxes (based on your 20% capex & maintenance reserves).

How would selling it (by any method) help you invest better?

I was hoping to have comps by now since I am using the BRRRR method so I can let them know to ask for a showing or not. 

Looking for tips and ideas on how to flesh out the WCAP (wealth creation and preservation), principle. I understand this a very broad concept, but how can it best be applied to REI?

@Brian Garrett This method would work better on absentee owners or investors who are at the end of their rope with out of state land lording.

I'm a Los Angeles native looking to invest in out of state income properties, and hopefully, build a portfolio of properties through the BRRRR method.

@Clarence Powell Start with a specific plan for your businessIdentify your farm areaGet a contract ready so that you're prepared to make offers on properties as soon as you find themStart MarketingPut together a buyers listRemain patient, methodical and consistent, it can take months to get your first deal, keep at it and you'll increase your chance of success

But it's still a wonderful "house hack" and a brilliant way to invest!

You still can but just keep in mind it's easier if you wait for a recession.I'm a big fan of both methods you mentioned.
