We plan on doing a BRRRR strategy, as well as house hacking combined in.

(Dallas Fort Worth Area) Do y'all think just finding a good deal and flipping it is a good way to start, opposed to wholesaling or other methods?

Am interested in alternative methods to bridge finance between two properties each of which have LTV below 80% 

I live in the Hartford area of CT and up until learning about the BRRRR strategy on BP, have really only been focused on an owner occupied Multifamily (3 or 4 units) as I was pre-approved for 5% down up to 275k (more when 75% of property income factored).

As to how to find those desperate sellers....well, there are many methods (see Kate's post above for some), you just need to find what works best for you.

I was able to owner finance and my favorite method was low down say a few grand.. and ZERO % interest carry with higher than normal payments but enough that the buyer could break even on cash flow if they managed them themselves...

Did the sponsor receive equity ownership in the property, or did you employ a different method to compensate the sponsor for his/her support in the deal?

@Brie Schmidt has a great method for incentivizing the PM so their goals are aligned with the owner's.

That would be $2,500/month I walked away from not including the 2% COC ROI (Using BRRRR).

I have used that method several times.
