I started building my own absentee list method about three years ago..

I think I know how the BRRRR Method works, but I'm not sure how it applies to my situation.

I would try to market and if you're unsuccessful, tweak your method. 

In my words, a “hack” is a creative method or strategy to get around some pain point or problem.

What method do you use to evaluate  ROI on vacation rentals? 

I'm still learning about the BRRRR method but it sounds like the refinance is always happening some time after the initial purchase of the property.

The security deposit they forfeited was basically a months rent, during which time I could get the place rented again.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the unrealistic expectations part, investors are still in the business of flipping for profit, so for discussion, what are some methods of success when attempting to reach out to banks or vacant property owners that have worked for you?

Your average real estate investor does not have to worry about things like fraternization or their security clearance if you have one.

I’ll explain, the majority of people get W2 jobs for security reasons like a safety net.
