Instead of "get a shotgun and blast the entire area the chicken is in".The reason you have to just sent out a TON of mailers and keep at it, is BECAUSE it is a CRAPPY lead generation method.

But we recently learned about the BRRRR method and are super excited to use this method. 

The turnkey method is perfect for people that see the benefits of investing in real estate but do not live in the right market. 

My goal was to use the brrrr method but due to my travels I was finding this nearly impossible as I wanted to do some of the rehab myself, also managing contractors while on the road is not ideal in any case let alone during a first investment.I ended up going with a town home that needed very little work but one that could still give me the cash flow I needed and one that I could see myself moving into just in case thing went awry lol.

I have been studying and researching this method and would love to get my foot in with my first property.

Someone mentioned an S corporation which is a method to reduce that self employment tax- but really only advisable if you've made over $60-70k. 

The IRS actually says that this is the preferred method because it is the cleanest and best way to depreciate a property and it’s contents

I'm going to look into that method.

Not sure if that method would work as well there though. 

At least some of the methods I've been using with the person I'm working with.
