Hey Lucas, You could finance your first BRRRR and it may be a smarter strategy than deploying all of your liquid reserves into one property for the next 3-12 months (Depending on the loan for the refi).

The liquidity event helped, as have recent MicroSaaS and other projects that bring in some butter and egg money. 

What these 2 numbers then tell me is, if a seller finds the the price the market believes a property is worth, it will likely sell, because it is a very liquid market.
