Anyway, we shall see, something could go south, and it could all fall apart tomorrow, but for now, I am lucky and blessed to be able to say that things are running very smoothly with the right personnel in place, and the machine we have built over the past couple years is steadily spitting our several revenue streams, and I’m very excited to not be forced to trade time for money.

I would make a list of all the 10-40 unit buildings in the area and approach those owners with a trade for managing and maintenance for rent. 

Personally the BRRRR method has worked well for me, it gives the option of getting your invested cash back, and you get the benefit of owning real estate which will pay you back in the end! 

So run the numbers and weight the trade offs. 

I feel like a cashier's check or a money order would be a highly safer and more documented method of paying for a deal.

The BRRRR is just a method to acquire properties with less money for us as real estate investors.I hope all of that makes sense but feel free to ask anything additional if you need.

I'm looking to connect with some investors based out of Pittsfield MA, because my partners and I are looking to buy out there and would love to get in touch with some active investors out there to learn more about the market.It seems like smaller multifamily trades at great prices out there and I'd love to talk with some people about their experience and learn more about investing out there.Thanks very much!

These reasons make me think that you need to be at the forefront of someone's mind by doing direct mailing, contacting agents, lenders contractors, (whomever) frequently and reminding people of your specific buying criteria and other such strategies as a method for landing deals with less competition.

Also one has to look at what your trying to accomplish are you trying to replace your current job / income with changing careers into being a full time landlord.. or are you simply investing and building a long term portfolio  kind of like Day trading or just set it and forget it stocks and other passive investments.  

Specifically, using the BRRRR method.
