If you offer more $ for the property than the all cash offers AND you appear to the seller to be highly qualified in the method you are using for sourcing the payment, at some point your offer will be more appealing than the all cash offers.I don't understand why you would consider a 1031 for another property in two years. 

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

For all methods you would want to find a market that has strong employment rates, strong income rates for the market, and is a growing or an established market. 

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

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

If a Designer or Contractor is proposing to remove a wall and does not think to check the structural integrity of said wall, then they are no one you should be dealing with.

Yes, the BRRRR method can work with multifamily properties, and many investors have done it successfully.

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