Finding and executing on the deal and really adding value is much harder. 

Awesome job on the rehab and execution of the BRRRR.You got 100% of your capital back out and have a cash flowing property. 

Execute on these goals.

I'm planning to execute the BRRRR strategy on either SFR or duplexes and was looking for some help on how to properly structure and get clarity on the sourcing of the initial financing and cash-out refi portion of the deal. 

A so-so team can take the best deal and turn it into a steaming pile in no time simply by inferior execution............a great team can take corrective action and 'fix' an investment if it hiccups-which it very likely will at some point.

Don't worry about using most or all of it - see it as a "pot of gold" you can dip into and use for all kinds of things when executing on your strategic plan.You state that you are an agent yourself.

Regarding lenders, reach out to AAPL (American Association of Private Lenders) and see if they have any members who operate in the ADU space.

I'm attributing this issue to being new to the game, and not executing my application/screening process as thoroughly as I should have.

This got me thinking about using a home warranty service, like CenterPoint or American Home Shield, for various repairs and replacements like this.

Big take away, the majority of Americans are happy with their jobs.
