There is much to discover in just driving the streets when you pick a an area to explor. 

We get deals here and there using this method.

Here is what I see:700k       ARV No340k       Buy525k       75%  REFI  10k       Cost of REFI (your number)515k       Cash at REFI340k       Reimburse cost to buy175k       Cash out122k       Cost/lost cash during negative cash flow period (4800/yr)  53k       Net gain over 17 yearsAlternative use of neg cash flow4800           NCF available funds/year to invest10%           Annual return % on alternative investment *$168,940   Return on one alternative use of available funds **  Using the BRRR method, those funds reinvested over and over, would lead to an exponential return...not straight line as shown here.If you have negative cash flow, the cash is dead during that time period.  

After doing a cash out refi, it's not worth it to keep the property due to the low ROI of the property once financed.One thing I don't look forward to with either method is ending up with commercial loans with higher interest rates.

I have been exploring the difference in working with a company like RichDad or a financial local advisor.

We have 25+ electric meters which include meters for community lighting and AC.What are some methods to divide up the Utility costs?

You could buy $100K properties, use the BRRRR method and make a higher ROI.  

I am very ready to do a deal just can't seem to come up with a manageable funding method.   

We’ll continue to explore ways to reduce spam, including new ways for users to give more explicit feedback about spammy and low-quality sites."

I've started a renovation and maintenance company that caters to investors, PM's and Landlords.  Would enjoy feedback on what rehab and ongoing maintenance issues you see during flips or managing property.
