Sorry to double post but I don’t think I made my primary question very clear; can anyone here share experiences of Ellis-ing in Los Angeles, and can anyone recommend an eviction attorney who would be well versed in these topics?

just do the math based on your future goals...That said, BRRRR can work if you are buying with cash, using delayed financing, and buying at extreme discounts under appraised value....very few people can pull this off consistently.There are a host of other considerations with BRRRR, just be aware...like if you are using a conventional lender, all your re-fi's will be based on your personal DTI and credit score...you'll hit the wall very quickly...so you need a commercial lender up front...but you'll take a big hit on points and origination fees...and will be required to hold so much in reserve that you will likely not cash flow for years.Nobody really talks about the potential issues that can arise if you are not BRRRR' ing in a way that makes sense.

I recommend niche-ing in watching the market closely for a few months to a year, and then acting on all the data you've gathered.

I'm looking at BRRR-ing in the greater Dallas area specifically east Dallas (Garland/Mesquite area).

But if I buy, say, 5 houses, then I'm going to be 1031'ing in the future into other small fish things.The third level of figuring out stuff is - what do I want to accomplish?

Learned of the 80% loan to value limit.Does this making BRRR-ing in Texas more difficult then other states?

I was exploring the idea of refi ing in a shorter period than 6 month, So ill look around and if I cant find anything 6 months is the back up plan.  

Also with regards to refi-ing in 5-10 years, do you think you'd be able to secure fixed debt lower than 6% for this investment?

If you end up wholesale-ing in the future, make sure to add me to your mailing list

We have had a lot of success BRRR-ing in C-Class neighborhoods, it's a bit more work, but we've been able to pick up some really great deals, renovate them, and then find great tenants as our properties really are the only diamonds in these lower-income areas so there is always tons of interest and we are able to sort through and select top tier renters.
