@James Harper One thing to consider is with that many properties on the market is that the quality of the homes vary dramatically.  

Buying 24 at once sounds great, but Harrison has a bunch of work in front of him and his story may sound as dramatic (in a different way) in about six months as it does now.The BRRR strategy is a good one, even better if you can do it without using your own funds like Harrison.  

Also because 4+ units your interest rate goes up dramatically.  

Also 203K will only allow licensed contractors to do the work, So you cant do them yourself. ( this could change your repair cost dramatically)     What is the average days on market for a rental, What is your estimated repair time?

Increasing the rent will dramatically improve your ROI. 

:>)The reason we believe the next downturn in tech is because VC fundings came to a screeching halt in the 4th quarter of 2015 while it slowed down dramatically in the 3rd quarter.

Your chances of survival and success will dramatically improve, even if it's not as exciting as the first option.  

GeorgeBad idea period; A new car is the worst investment that can be made, you’ll end up with payments on something that does not produce money, but cost money, then the value of said car will drop dramatically and by the time you get done paying it off, it’ll be worthless, you could have used that money to start investing.Buy a beater for cash, save every penny you can by not buying shinning things that “DO NOT PRODUCE MONEY”.

If you are selling the property, the equation changes dramatically.  

What works best can vary dramatically just based on the wording or timing of your letter, placement of signs, color of door hanger, etc.
