I spent my savings on a paint sprayer and grew my knowledge on different paints and stains for fences, as well as application methods.

We were recently discussing that here:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...You might want to read through this discussion thread about how the brrr method is some what oversold:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Lastly, you never know what the rents and expenses will be in the future... 

When creating a leads funnel, I know there are a few common methods of finding leads such as mailers, cold calls, knocking on doors, etc.

My original plan was to save up money over the next year to pay cash and use the BRRRR method, however we have looked at a few properties and have considered just buying property with a conventional mortgage if we find a good deal in the area we like (we have enough saved for 20% down and light rehab).

I want to start with the Brrr method and am planning to partner on a deal with 3 of my brothers so that we can do a cash offer.

Both are viable methods that convert, just depends on your budget/time constraints like Jeff + Jake mentioned.
