For me, start with either the property who's lease expiry is furthest out in the future OR property that has seems like it will be easiest to manage.3) From what I have heard, rent has really moved upward in GVSC - I'd call a couple RE Agents or property managers that have rental listings in the area and tell them your situation / ask them to send you closed rental comps.

Are there also groups within LinkedIn that I could join or is there some other method of finding investors on LinkedIn? 

The BRRRR method and creative financing are game-changers!

The easiest way to start is to go into your local branch banks and ask for their loss mitigation department, and once you get the right person, ask how you go about buying their REOs.

Is there a method to the madness or just a shotgun approach until you find one that works?

I am wondering who has done the BRRRR method as an investor and what institutions are investor friends for multiple BRRRS.

Now private lenders are my main purchase method, along with seller financing and BRRRR.

I've only seen one person spell it out clearly, but I'm not sure his method is how everyone else views the Rule.  

This is sometimes called the "Enemy Method," and you can search for more details.3.

@Valerie Renee BowmanThe easiest way to do this would be to have the seller split the two into two separate contracts.
