That was my strategy and now my only intent is increasing monthly income by acquiring more.

I want to find a few properties for around $130K each to make a 1031 work when I sell a current property a few months from now.Not looking for turnkey that sells at retail prices, but for properties I can build 25% + appreciation into with rehabbing that will allow me to refinance later on to follow the BRRRR strategy (so an ARV of $200K from a purchase price of $130K). 

I think your on a growth strategy so at some point you will have to cross the line and create a business if you don't have one already.  

He said to read and to decide on a strategy of investment. 

What is the general strategy you are looking at?

I see an opportunity for wholesalers, as many investors are more interested than ever in having strong off-market deals presented to them.Over the past few days, I have been rethinking my investment strategy, as I am pessimistic that I will be able to reach my real estate goals in this current market.  

I applied those strategy off MLS and closed 4 houses in 2016 in the area.

I'd be happy to meet with you to just network or to talk about possible investment strategies. 

I watch a lot of webinars and always here Brandon turner talk about how he loves house hacking / BRRR strategy but I haven't heard him mention this info.

more than likely your strategy will not work the hard money lender will want first position and a conventional lender will not want a second
