My plan is to live there for a year then move out and rent the 4th one.  

It likely won’t be about cash flow but can offset your expenses to save more money to invest again out of state if you’re looking for more affordable options.

It is all about a plan. 

Hi Seth,The BRRRR method can be a powerful strategy for building wealth, but it's crucial to approach it with a solid financial plan.

I was planning to send letters explaining the higher cost in taxes, market rents in the area, and then offer a gradual raise to meet in the middle somewhere.

This may not seem important now but I’ve had two partnerships turn sour and if we’d have had an exit strategy on either it would have saved tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees and court costs.

How do you plan on getting the houses?

Nor did it show the 700 SF solarium on the second floor or the fact 4 of the "1 bedroom" apartments were 800+ SF with some of the best floor plans you can produce.

But now I'm thinking of renting the whole house and getting a cheap apartment to save even more money.

We had to save up the 5% to get our first place with an 80/15 first and second mortgage.
