I have heard people recommend using a percentage of rent but that method doesn't seem practical to me for a variety of reasons.

Have you, or anyone else in the forum used any method and found success with the results?

I want to replace my income with real estate and the BRRRR method seemed like a good way to get there faster than buying a turnkey investment.

There is just not the same apprehension with these methods than picking up an unknown call.

I am new to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Investing and looking to purchase my first property, preferably using the BRRRR method. 

But in the same method just leveraging their filters to find properties within my criteria per my target market. 

The BRRRR method is my path of investing. 

Not sure the exact numbers but it is safe to say almost everyone.So if almost EVERYONE is using these strategies why is it that also almost EVERYONE is still struggling, if those methods worked?

There are many ways to find deals.Some are better than others, and some are simply the best, yet there are some advantages and drawbacks to all.A lot of thought goes into strategic lead generation and this is where there is a huge continuous debate going on which lead generation method is the best.You can focus your effort into just blindly getting leads where you continuously have to do the work and/or pay money to stay in business, or you can focus on doing the legwork now and set up your automated lead generating machine so you continuously and automatically get leads whether you do the work  or not.Most investors do not have the patience or foresight to realize  that lead generation is something that takes finesse, technology, systems and opt for  always grinding  as long as they see something happening (which is not the same as "seeing results".That said,  your question  should not be  "what are some ways to get deals".Your question is how do I set up a lead generation system that will provide me with continuous deals and make money from these deals.You cna do door knocking to find deals, you coul dput up bandit signs to find deals right?

We are also unsure on what method of marketing we should use.
