Extremely disappointed the new BP tax book basically said the safe harbor was the only method. 

Have any of you successfully used this method in MA?

They are a nice little tool to give you a quick method to calculate cash flow on a property, while also being fairly inclusive of the expenses. 

It'd be great to hear some of your stories/methods of meeting new people in the business, cultivating relationships, and building great business relations.

If they can start reporting the facts (get a scientist to do it who is good with the media as they are less dramatic than the news reporters and better at sticking to the facts) and the politicians act on facts (not concerns about being sued), it would help a lot and solve most of the problems (well not create a cure for the virus). 

Is the BRRRR method recommended for newbies? 

I work with a small group of investors and I'm asking them to keep their reserves very high and be ready to solve BIG problems in the coming weeks/months.

Appraisers use a combination of 3 methods to arrive at a value,  sales comparison approach, cost approach and income capitalization approach.  

Both methods require the expertise of an experienced team- your lender and agent should know the ins and outs of the process. 

It's one thing if they fix different things and it still didn't work - at least they are trying to solve the problem.
