A true wild-west for wall-street where it's very possible the biggest players and winners will look more like RoaringKitty than the Claus Schwab's.

@William CoetThe big players definitely approach these markets differently from individual investors.

I’m a former college baseball player and retired professional ballroom dancer, with a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate investment.

Prioritize high-ROI renovations such as kitchen and bathroom upgrades, flooring, and enhancing curb appeal.

In fact most new BRRRR investors prioritize whether they can receive 100% of their capital back through a refinance over all other deal metrics and being laser focused on that particular objective often leads to investing in the lowest tier neighborhood where it is easier to complete the BRRRR process. 

You can be ready to acquire properties at a discount from those forced to sell due to cash flow issues​.Focus on Cash Flow Today: With BRR"R"RR, you are prioritizing properties that cash flow from the start, making your investment stable and less reliant on speculative future appreciation or short-term market shifts.

Given your goal of leaving your W-2, prioritize cash flow properties while leveraging financing smartly, rather than aggressively paying down debt right away.As for the economy, maintaining flexibility by having multiple properties with moderate leverage can give you options to either sell or refinance if needed.Let me know if you need help with financing strategies.

I must add to this as well, they do not prioritize wholesale.

Quote from @James McGovern: I no longer entertain buyers agents from CaThere can be many bad players in any transaction. 

What would be interesting to me if a software/program could do this analysis at a larger scale in order to identify off-market properties that have "below market" rents that would help prioritize someone's off-market focus.
