I appreciate the  1% rule of thumb for analyzing the BRRRR method. which was my ultimate goal initially.

What specifically would prevent you from creating 10 2-acre lots zoned R-3?  

(still a good option)Bandit signs can also be pretty cost effective but just be ready to hustle and put these signs all over town (not a big fan of this approach, but I know many wholesalers get massive deals from these) In the beginning I had more hustle than money, so I hustled more using cheaper marketing methods such as these.

We purchased 3 rental properties using the BRRRR method on our last purchase.

@Jonathan R McLaughlin I was thinking that its best to get rid of these tenants but given where we are in the COVID cycle and where rents are... not sure that I will be able to rerent the unit easily.

It just seems to odd to a novice that this one singular method would be singled out.

Since you do not occupy the home you could buy another Primary with 3-5% down and again use the BRRR method. 

Unfortunately houses tend to either be a great asset for appreciation r they cashflow well, but rarely both. 

I have heard of the method of cold calling craigslist rental ads and asking if they would rather sell.
