Houston is great for using the BRRRR method. 

When using the BRRR method how do you avoid putting so much down?

If there are multiple listings in that area without permits, then there is a higher likelihood of there being no formal permit process.That is so not a reliable method.

Would I be able buy this property subject-to legally using this method? 

Where are you all looking for your deals, and/or what methods are you using to get the deals brought to you?? 

My question is: Can the sub 2 method still be used when it has gotten that far?

But if you're asking how is the value attributable to any land component of a given property acquisition determined, any reasonable method will suffice (e.g., allocating the land value based upon local property tax valuation ratios might be acceptable).

I've posted numerous responses talking about the detective and the dozens of reports filed thus far.

If I want to scale my portfolio, traditional 20% down mortgages aren't going to be possible because of the property value here, so wanted to see what other popular methods are possible.2) How can a rookie investor get comfortable with buying out-of-state? 

Hello @Isaiah J Aragon,I applaud your methodical process.
