I am interested in pursuing the BRRRR method, but I am hesitant to take this on due to the "Rehab" portion of the strategy. 

A little bit about me, I lived in a small town near the greater Boston area for the past 10 years and had just moved to O'ahu to pursue my Masters in Architecture, (but that's kind of on hold right now due to complication of the program...).

Can I expense my moving costs if I am moving across the country to pursue RE investing full-time in another state?

Seth first you need to determine which strategy you want to pursue such as wholesale or go the retail route because cash or credit may not be an issue.Then gather contact information such as who the property owner is, contact them and get it under contract.

You bring the time and a little money, they bring the rest of the money, and you go out and make some deals.You are giving up more of the upside, but it is getting you in on deals you otherwise couldn't have pursued. 

Furthermore, delaying decisions may prevent both parties from pursuing new opportunities aligned with their respective goals.Evaluate your long-term financial objectives and personal aspirations for the portfolio.

So, while I did end up putting in one offer, I didn’t get it and am not currently actively pursuing this market at the moment.

And in my situation, my primary residence was on the same lot as my rental unit and they still were pursuing charges even though I asked my neighbors for permission, ran the property for over a year with no complaints and lived less than 100 ft away.

Also, do I really want to pay those legal fees to pursue while having to sue a friend?

Note if I had purchased in 2022 in my market, I would have done alright due to the appreciation but in my 2022 underwriting I was depicting 0% near term appreciation (I strive for conservative underwriting).You have a choice to either pursue RE or not.
