If there's a family member or friend in a similar situation, and you can both align on the initial plan (location, home type, price, usage/occupancy, etc) you can pretty easily get a co-ownership agreement in place and even a joint mortgage.The benefit here is it might open up your ability to buy a larger place in a nicer area which could lead to a faster rate of appreciation and overall better living environment. 

They unleashed pandemic handouts and loan programs that greased the economy (this was not well thought out, contributed to the inflationary environment we are still suffering from and PPP and ERP loans were flooded with fraudulent loans and benefits)These programs leveraged existing corporate infrastructure (banks and the government had little or no operational involvement). 

I would suspect once investors digest the higher rate environment and some of the hurricane damage is moved inventory will settle out in neutral territory. 

Affordable housing in not built by driving rents down, that probably will result in a slum like environment.

These cities boast a forecasted job growth rate of 38%, driven by a thriving tech sector, healthcare expansion, and a business-friendly environment, which continues to fuel property appreciation.

Would cause me to not even ever considering that in today’s environment.

What doesn’t work today may work in the future.Another challenge with the traditional BRRRR model is the resulting high debt load often isn’t fully covered by rental income, especially in today’s high-rate environment.

Smart idea staying flexible in this environment.

The environment now with higher interest rates and higher purchase price does make it more difficult but definitely doable. 

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Keith Wilson: Any feed back is welcome  Have not taken the course but BRRR is basically dead right now due to interest rate environment - so if you take it I am not sure you can implement any training you learn at this time.
