If you wait three months, you can use the new appraised value for the cash out refinance which is helpful because if you're doing a BRRRR, you're presumably adding value and will get more cash back for your next project if you wait the three months seasoning period.

One of the methods I plan to utilize is to list the space on craigslist.

If you look up BRRRR you will see lots of info.

Your problem is probably your method of wholesaling. 

That’s our primary method of communication so it works.

I decided I’d find another method. 

If you're considering BRRRR, the FHA 203(k) loan could work for bundled purchase and renovation, but it’s often simpler to use personal funds for lighter rehab projects.You could focus on properties with strong rental potential and manageable upgrades to increase value.

Which is to say any attempts beyond the method of communication in the profile are likely to end up convincing the landlord you and your friend would be a pain in the butt as tenants. 

Without this foundation any money spent on gurus, courses, books mentorships that teach techniques and methods is WASTED, even if the methodology being taught is valid.
