Each method has a cost in both time and money.  

I’m curious, what’s the most creative or unconventional strategy you’ve used to structure a BRRRR or Fix-and-Flip deal?

Would that method work again?

It isn't the metric you can talk about on a national scale, but if you keep buying the same product in the same area it is a very easy quick and dirty method to know how you are doing compared to other buys. 

While many gurus glorify the strategies they’re selling through courses or books, methods like out of state investing aren’t easy and can put you in a tough financial spot if you’re not careful.

The BRRR method is not about "numbers working" in a given market. 

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Even though I had a full size W/D on site, I still used this method.....

If you want a lower downpayment way of investing without moving into the property, I recommend the BRRRR method. 

And there is definitely ways to structure a sub to deal to protect yourself a little better as a buyer but the problem is and will always be that the lender isnt in the loop with this and can call the loan at any point which puts a lot of risk on the sellers willing to do this method and the buyers who are investing money into these deals.
