I figured it would be a long road to remodel, but it’s just not talked about, unlike the HML then BRRRR method.

A split to 80/20 could be problematic because it doesn't reflect the Joint nature of the tax return and could be seen as a step transaction if she was to only do an exchange on her 80%.Owning as Joint tenants is certainly a possibility and in fact the one that matches the tax return. 

@Daniel Sutton describes another method I have seen used to tie up a person's property, however that method also comes with risks, as you are essentially putting a cloud on the Seller's title.

My strategy is to utilize the BRRRR method.

The intent of this method is to use the funds to quickly secure the property and then pay off the HELOC to take an equity position and reduce your overall risk.

Hello,Can the BRRRR method still work fine if you don;t buy the home all cash.

The court is of little help in such situations since if tenant does not provide forwarding address, the court will not process a complaint. as a Landlord i am desperately searching for a way or a method outside of traditional credit bureaus to verify and screen such tenants.

You will need to find a more efficient method to scale.Good luck

Pulling the trigger on the first one is scary, congrats on taking that step and on the new baby. 

We use these methods in both determining estimated price and rents.
