Starting with The BRRRR method along with House Hacking (Both of which the guys talk about in many of their books and podcasts) I just don’t know if those are truly doable in this area.

There are tools that make it very doable.

Getting an exemption from rent control takes an act of GodEmptying bldg out via Ellis to make a TIC play is much harder nowadays; was more doable pre 2010Long term play; someone with $$$ puts 40% down, collects their 4-6% return, waits out the tenants, while neighborhood gentrified as wellBuy outs are also an interesting option, if the tenant is game, and speeds up the process

It's certainly doable, but needs a lot of planning!

How's that different that say 120k house, 1400 rent which is doable.

The house needs work but is doable.

You would have to make a really good argument as to why the fair market value and purchase price are not the same number to have taxes lowered, but it is doable.

The baseline takeaway from what you guys shared is, while potentially doable if the variables play in my favor, the $24k objective is a high summit.

To this point I have focused strictly on the low end of the market and the ROI is spectacular without a doubt but I was put in touch with a great local wholesaler who sends me homes in the $150-300 range daily with complete info on whats needed and costs involved and seems like 15% is doable on those types of homes.

Out-of-state cash flow is an option, entry prices are much more doable, and there are plenty of ways to not have to put a lot of time or energy in.
