Appreciate the cautious words surrounding the BRRRR method. 

Has anyone purchased a single family home or Duplex in WI using this method?

I think I’m going to go with the wholesaler route for a bit and see how that works out for me and then try the other methods if I’m unsuccessful 

I have been recently been doing quite a bit of research exploring possiblities for my IRA. 

I'm not an attorney, so you are probably best off talking to one licensed in the state of the subject proberty... but one option you might explore is that the seller places money in an escrow account to be paid wholly or partially to you in the event the tenant does not vacate, or the money is returned to the seller after the tenant in question has vacated.

Another method would be to hire a mentor to help you.

But it has the tight timelines to complete - no problem because you've had the time to explore and educate yourself and can start to really let that REI freak flag fly.If you can't negotiate something like that I'd say you're better off going totally passive and treating this as a retirement account for the near term.

What other methods of contact do you use besides "cold calling" to buyers and Landlords?

Which brings me to my ultimate point.The BRRRR method is dependent on many factors, but the single most important factor is the rent you can achieve.

I'd like to explore investing in other towns/cities in my state.Is there a reputable online tool for quickly analyzing the need-to-know data points in unfamiliar rental markets?
