I guess you could say I accidentally did the BRRRR method without knowing it.How did you add value to the deal?

Otherwise, you are just another guy trying to pick apart his nest.Try to hear what he really needs, and then bring the deal as close to the line as possible.You would be surprised how relationship can impact a deal favorably...... dont be disingenuous, actually take interest in solving the problem.

I am very interested in doing the BRRRR method, buy and hold, and building our portfolio. 

Sometimes doing a sort of thought experiment and pretending like you’re having to step in and solve a problem for somebody else can bring things into focus and lighten the situation.

Since the BRRRR method is designed to limit your out of pocket you should only be coming out of pocket a NOMINAL amount. 

I employ the BRRRR method so most properties have had extensive rehab.

I really like the idea and concept of the BRRRR method but it seems like it might be difficult to pull off on a long distance property while working full time. 

Research also says having ONE GFCI at the most upstream point in the circuit will protect all downstream outlets...which would have to be 2-prong per code (and which doesn't solve the 3-prong need issue for certain devices).  

The bigger problems you can solve, the more you can achieve. 

What I ultimately decided to do was to go out of NYC to Indianapolis, not as close as @Scott Wolf in Dutchess County but similar methods/systems that you'll need if you're to invest out of your own market.A little over 2 years later, I have 5 rentals out of state, and hopefully #6 that's pending will have no issues to close and I'm closing on my co-op in Queens (all at the same time).
