You are interested in a certain market to use the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) method to purchase property.To find these properties, you asked how many Realtors you would contact in that area.Honestly, most Realtors do not speak investor language and are not investors themselves.

What is your preferred method of contact and when is a good time? 

@Anthony KolbuszBRRRR method is a fantastic strategy, especially with your trade experience.

I understand that they operate in real estate under one of a few exemptions from registering as a security with the SEC.

As a general contractor, i feel best suited for fix and flip or BRRR method investing.

I do not have to much cash for a down payment but was thinking of doing a HELOC on one of the rentals to get more cash and go the BRRRR method.

What tools or methods do you use for conducting property analysis without stepping foot on the property?

I am interested in the Brrrr method and I want to evolve from wholesale space to that.

Whichever method of lead generation you decide on, aim to establish and maintain a relationship with prospective sellers. 

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.
