You are definitely correct when saying Bigger Pockets was more active when rates were low.

The low end assumes a 60% occupancy. 

Usually banks or credit unions want you to have some skin in the game.

You can do the Jack Hammer w/ Chisel Bit,  or Rent a Floor Scraper from Home Depot or Lowes. 

It's landlord-friendly and has a low barrier to entry. 

Far too low. - I do not see holding costs.  

There are issues in the realty industry...primarily the fact that the barrier of entry is so incredibly low to get a license and the vast majority of agents don't hone their crafts.

I noticed the population drop but every year people are migrating here with roughly 22% of the total population to be 65+. prices are low but im not sure if I should either do BRRRR or flip cheap properties

Leveraging Other Assets: If you've got equity in another property, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) could be a way to tap into that without selling up.

There's almost no rentals in the neighborhood I'm searching in.If our strategy is BRRRR - is it a good thing that there's a low number of rentals in the area?
