I'm interested in finding ways to invest while keeping my full-time job with the military.I have a little bit of experience with the "buy and hold" strategy, but I would like to explore the idea of partnerships to expand my leverage. 

I've been utilizing the BRRRR strategy for several years [before it had a name] and love it!

When investing with the BRRRR strategy do you use two banks, one for initial purchase and then one for the refinance?  

@Chris Lopez is knowledgeable with various investment strategies that work well inside the 470 loop and beyond.

I will make contact with bankers all this coming week to see who can help me, I could keep you updated if you would like to use this same strategy. 

But I am not for sure which investing strategy is the best one in the progressive & affordable market that I am in (unlike the more expensive California areas).

Hi BarbaraI'm in Fort Pierce as well but tackling the buy/hold strategy.

Then, after 3-12 months, he refinances at 100% FMV and they lend him 75% of the value, meaning that he got all, or most, of his money back in the first year.Does anyone use, or has anyone else heard of, a better strategy than that?

Obviously we have 2 different approaches and it could be useful to show Patrick contrasting  strategies. 

Great strategy, keep it growing!
