Our project has been pushed out quite a bit, but as far as I can tell all for legitimate reasons with permitting delays and market shifts.

Yes, they are legitimate.

can you achieve the BRRRR method and follow the 1% rule?

Utilizing these methods and collaborating with local appraisers ensures accurate results.Good luck!

So we have legitimate rentals and we legitimately materially participate in the STR business too.

 And yes it all continues to make me very well aware that I won’t be doing any MTR anytime soon.So....as one of the people who responded to your original post, I legitimately don't know if my response was viewed as helpful, hurtful or horse...puckey?

Pretty much all of our 25 unit rental portfolio was obtained by using the BRRR method. 

I do give tenants discounts for yard work or snow shoveling, but I keep it less than what I would pay a company to do the work.As for raising the rent, use the binder method.

Yes, you'll probably get some pitches - it comes with the territory - but legitimate meetups focus on providing value first, with networking happening naturally. 

That might also change what strategy you use seeing as you might be able to find some ways to use less up front cash to get a property by using the BRRRR method or finding something you can force appreciation with.
