Hi to everyone,I would like to ask that ,my banks in my country (Greece) are unable to provide refinance options for the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), what alternative realistic strategies can I consider for implementing this investment approach?

There are also people who swear by one method or another.   

I'm a first-time homebuyer looking to start my real estate investing journey and would appreciate some advice.

I was wondering if any real estate agents might have any advice or resources that I can use to begin my journey?

@Jacob HavlovickCongrats on purchasing your first duplex and starting your house-hacking journey—this is a huge step toward building wealth!

As a beginner investor based in the Seattle metro area, I'm eager to learn from your experiences and share my journey as I get started in this field.My current strategy is to focus on live-and-flip for the first three deals (looking for my second deal) to gain hands-on experience while building equity and learning the ins and outs of renovation and the local market. 

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

If you are open to non-traditional methods of financing, you could use a debt service loan to bypass that requirement.

There are many who will argue my methods and that's fine, it's worked very well for me and has been extremely rewarding in ways that cannot be compensated monetarily.
