I can not justify giving some one 50% of my paycheck for answering my questions when BP does it for free.I am sure he is good and all.

The reason I never went with the brrr method was that I could never find something where the rent would justify the newly refinanced Home in order to produce enough cash flow.

Fees should be clearly stated, easy to understand, and justifiable.

Think of it this way, paying large fees can only be justified on a ROI basis with outsized returns.  

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

How can you justify having a different entity paying for something that you buy for yourself?

So I'm finding while I enjoy the research/etc, it's harder and harder to justify competing with others on the bidforassets platform.I feel like there is some significant potential for investors to reach out to owners and try to negotiate a deal (better price when all is said & done) vs if the property had gone to tax sale ....especially on some of the marginal properties (unbuildable, recreational, wetlands or critical areas challenges, and so on) that are too low in value to attract mainstream investors. 

They will use small numbers to justify COC and other useless metrics.I buy in an expensive area where the calculations are a little different.

There could be circumstances that justify less. 

In Eastern WA, the market is more stable (lower highs, higher lows in appreciation), so knowing I likely won't get more than my money back on [Appreciation - Inflation], I need higher $/door to justify the investment.
