I thought I knew how the BRRR method would go, but apparently not.

Any reasonable methods is fine.So it can be based on the income, expenses, “actual usuage”.  

Just trying to sort out the logistics before I go and hire someone from over there as a cost saving method and then realize I was getting charged up the wooza for every call.

Turnkey is not the right choice for those people - a more local, self-managed BRRRR method would be better suited.

This method doesn’t help with your w2 now but as time goes on it doesn’t add to  the income  tax burden as income and equity increases.

it seems like if you talk to 10 investors, half of them will swear by one method, and the other half swear by a different approach.  

Most people who talk about those tricks and shortcuts will try to sell you on their "tried and true no money down rags to riches in 6 months method" or whatever, and they're making money on selling advertising on their website, books, seminars and snake oil but not actually real estate.

I see them do yhr brrr method but was curious where after paying for renovations people are getting additional money for yhr refi.

I plan to start with a house hack and building a portfolio primarily with the BRRRR method with hopes of one day sponsoring syndications.

We're going to be exploring HML soon.
