Shrijan Neupane New Member Introduction - Excited to Learn and Connect!

Hi Shrijan,Welcome to the forum.Personally, I'm not a fan of out of state BRRRR.On paper it all sounds good and great but I've been in the game long enough to have witnessed otherwise.I would always advise doing BRRRR in your own market if possible.There are too many links to a chain with this approach and if one link is faulty, you chain becomes useless.Otherwise, (Yes, I'm bias lol) an alternate solution is buying turnkey.Wishing you much success

You should start at municipality,with title insurance claim, then try working with seller directly.After exhausting these I would be sitting down with an attorney and sharing the fully paper trail for closing and the follow up with each of the three parties above to file a suit to let the courts figure out exactly where liability rests.
