Keep up the work, stay persistent, and try different methods to find the most effective.

The issue with ONLY using this method as a way to invest is that it fails to take into consideration: 1) vacancies and bad debt (i.e. uncollected rent); and 2) operating expenses (including: taxes, insurance, repairs & maintenance, capital reserves and utilities, property management, super(?)).

I have heard reference to the BRRRR method, and funny you should mention it, there is a webinar coming up on 3/3/16 which I found here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/webinar

Hello all,My question is simple - what methods should I use to determine the best price point for a unit?

Plumbing, electrical, cleanliness, etc.

Am interested in alternative methods to bridge finance between two properties each of which have LTV below 80% 

As to how to find those desperate sellers....well, there are many methods (see Kate's post above for some), you just need to find what works best for you.

I was able to owner finance and my favorite method was low down say a few grand.. and ZERO % interest carry with higher than normal payments but enough that the buyer could break even on cash flow if they managed them themselves...
