The often quoted cyclical nature refers to MF properties, as developers respond to demand, build inventory until there is too much etc..The residential market does no go through cycles, just google homes values over the last 60 years.

This one is perfect for the BRRRR method and plan to do a cash out refi to roll into our next property How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I spent my savings on a paint sprayer and grew my knowledge on different paints and stains for fences, as well as application methods.

We were recently discussing that here:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...You might want to read through this discussion thread about how the brrr method is some what oversold:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Lastly, you never know what the rents and expenses will be in the future... 

When creating a leads funnel, I know there are a few common methods of finding leads such as mailers, cold calls, knocking on doors, etc.

My original plan was to save up money over the next year to pay cash and use the BRRRR method, however we have looked at a few properties and have considered just buying property with a conventional mortgage if we find a good deal in the area we like (we have enough saved for 20% down and light rehab).

I want to start with the Brrr method and am planning to partner on a deal with 3 of my brothers so that we can do a cash offer.

Both are viable methods that convert, just depends on your budget/time constraints like Jeff + Jake mentioned.

You're not really in a position to buy a property without a full time W2 Job and if you get started in real estate you will naturally find mentors.

Having a referral is the strongest method to knowing if someone will be a good partner for you....which is why you reached out with this question.
