@Michael Challenger I scraped all the cash I could find and borrowed from family.

That is probably the biggest incentive.

Successful BRRRRs are challenging enough to do local to you.  

Raising equity can be the most challenging aspect of closing a deal.

It's a challenging market but I say if you can pay less then you currently are renting then it's a win.

@Emeka Okeke, the biggest thing is actually doing it.  

Hi Anthony, what's your biggest priority - cashflow or long-term appreciation? 

Changing careers can certainly be a challenge, but it sounds like you're equipped with a solid foundation thanks to your sister's support.

Then there are the challenges with Section 8 tenants paying utilities and taking care of their rental property.

Your approach here has definitely given me a lot to think about in terms of spotting hidden value.Curious, with the deferred maintenance challenges you faced, was there anything unexpected that came up during the rehab that you’d approach differently next time?
