The BRRR is a great strategy, but you will have to search hard to find a distressed duplex that you’re able to force appreciation on in this neck of the woods.

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

., I left Anderson for a small firm that will do the actual taxes and then another company that specializes in tax strategy. 

Like a calculator to simulate this strategy (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/795487-retire...), maybe showing how much equity could be pulled out of which property when, whether the portfolio would still cash flow, etc.

As raising rents often comes with an increased vacancy exposure risk with renewals, it may not always be the best strategy.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!  

While I’m happy to discuss general strategies and best practices, I won’t be sharing additional details about the property’s exact location, nearby city, or financials at this time.

This will be the best platform to educate yourself on investment strategies.

Thanks in advance for any advice or resources you can share.

You might consider other strategies, like taking a home equity loan or refinancing to fund repairs, but consulting with a tax professional or CPA would be the best next step for your specific situation.
