since a BRRRR involves a purchase AND a refinance, you'll 'close' twice and likely pay 10-15K just in closing costs.

That is not an issue.the question is how to coordinate the two sales and one purchase. if it’s too complicated, may just pay the capital gain tax.Quote from @Bill B.: You lost all hope at step 1.

My goal is to purchase one or two homes this year to fix and flip.

Do you have a plan to purchase if you get someone who might be interested?

I know it may vary by municipalities but do they tend to reappraise the property upon purchase? 

I found out from googling what a HELOC was so I took one out to get more funds to up my purchase power and jumped into a 3 family.

I recently purchased my first property in Cleveland Ohio.

I only purchase good, like new furniture. 

I have a lot of clients that ask me for creative ways to purchase property.

I am interested in purchasing a rental property in the Houston, TX area.
