@Jim K.I’m a big fan of the Socratic method.

If they bring me something else, the onus is on them.By the way, I work with a number of REA, and none of them have a problem with this, and all of them agree this method is one they prefer because it wastes far less time...and all of the agents are very experienced...and all of them are very good at filtering out properties before they bring them to me, so I rarely (less than 5% of the time), back out of a deal due to the inspection.

I'm particularly focused on those of us utilizing the Brrrr method. 

If you have a professional relationship with your broker, I would suggest emailing and calling them for their review of options, deductibles, and CC&R review to help with your specific claim.The CC&R's for the association will outline who is responsible for insuring different aspects of the building. and it is likely you will have the HOA's insurer, your insurer, and any tenant's insurer involved in the investigation process.I wish you the best, and please reach out with any questions!

I know this seems pretty broad but I have contacted the wholesaler I know to look for these but am unsure if that is the best method to go with. 

I like the idea of the brrr method.

Call John R.

Make sure that they have a good relationship with companies that will refinance the loan for you if you are using a BRRRR method.

You are relying on pure luck to get a deal with these methods.So again, why are you choosing these methods.

@Dave Foster - I love the Buy, Fix, Rent, Evaluate method you described.
