This approach gives you access to better loan terms and makes the investment more feasible.In my market, the BRRRR strategy only works if you purchase an absolute steal from the seller—and deals like that are virtually nonexistent.

These appraisers are too educated as in general this rule is virtually never applied on MF lots (I have heard of it once).  

No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.
