BRRRR is a grind and you can't do it using Zillow and email.here's what you will have to do to be successful:-you will have to find the sweet spot BRRRR deal - a house that is distressed enough for the seller to sell below market, but not so distressed that the rehab is impossible. these deals aren't on the MLS, and they are tough to find. how will you find one?

The house we are in now is about $200k.
