This way you can make a solid decision with your first purchase and not feel forced into a risky strategy because it's your only option.

Although I was clueless at the time, I am glad I made the decision to buy/invest first then pay off debt with the savings/earnings from the investment.Through annual appreciation, forced appreciation, and rental income, you have an opportunity to make your money work for YOU. 

Being forced to sell because you don't have the money is the single worst thing to happen to an investor.

@William Gogolla You shouldn't force a deal.

Maybe an issue come closing that may force our loan to be rejected without proof of debt to income ratio on the rental.

To effectively use the BRRRR strategy, the property will generally have to be fairly distressed in order to force equity and may not be eligible for conventional financing. 

I figured writing this out and telling as many people as I know will force me to jump of the proverbial cliff into buying my first property. 

I was shooting for the path of progress and the place is truly square between a fancy neighborhood and a sketchy one, in the direction it will be forced to grow. 

Markets behave in a weird convoluted way in response to intervention so predicting the exact outcome in terms of which commodity will be impacted in what way taxes a more complex analysis.

This way I could force appreciation and refi out of loan faster.
