I currently haven't used other methods outside of the MLS, but I might have to expand my search and/or seek properties through off market channels.

I'm concerned i would spend off my savings and investment funds before we go into the stable green.I definitely feel like multi-family is where i want to be, ideally doing a BRRRR deal to expedite the investment opportunity.... getting started, and where seems to be the hard part, having never done a BRRRR.

Using this method to get started into real estate.

I believe every court system has a method of withholding rent when landlords are not fulfilling their obligations.

One popular method in real estate to defer capital gains is the 1031 exchange.

And if you choose the DIY method, rather than outsourcing management, do you find it difficult to scale?

Personally found the deal, it was a drive for deals method and noticed the marketings of a pre-foreclosure.

I just noticed this Amortization field on the BRRRR Calc. 

The Enemy Method from @Avery Carl is a great resource here.Who's on my A team?

Following the BRRRR strategy, we're seeking financing for rehabs to our 2 'unicorn' short term rental properties we recently purchased just down the street from my other STR's.
