Can be a good strategy, but my understanding is BRRRR is generally dependent on refinancing and pulling back that cash invested to repeat the next one

And given that, in a major city, there are hundreds of houses put on the market weekly, you need a method to efficiently screen properties to make sure they won't bleed money before you spend time analyzing, touring them ect. 

Post on Craigslist seems like another 'guru' but I cannot put my finger on it, he seems to be following Cherif method, not sure what to make of it.

You can take a deep look at the deals and get an idea of the kind of variety you'll see and come up with your own due diligence method (that meets your unique situation).

We are seeing a lot of success with flips/BRRRR strategy all over the state.

Cash from previous BRRRR How did you add value to the deal?

I was going to brrrr it but when rates rose so much I decided to not refi it.

I don't plan on sticking to one method of investing however I do realize that some investors start with Single family and grow into multi-family.

So I'm strongly considering adding a handful of these to my buy & hold portfolio.I understand that there's no "risk-free" method to acquiring these properties subto, but have any of you had success over the long-term acquiring properties with VA loans attached?

Lucky for you, your own backyard is an excellent (and often overlooked) place to begin investing, thanks in part to Tuscaloosa’s proximity to Birmingham, UA’s steady enrollment growth, and the market’s favorable rent-to-price ratio.As for your comment about BRRRR, you’re right that it’s definitely one of the more time- and labor-intensive approaches.
