Does it have electrical, good roof, good foundation, slab, good framing, is there any plumbing, are you on sewer or septic? 

Are there other methods to drum up interest to get this property sold?

I am using direct mail as a method to find off market deals.

Do I wait until it is rented to get it appraised and refinance it like the BRRRR method? 

(Ex: I would like to replace the old plumbing with PEX, I would like to add a bed/bath in the attic of the upper unit and water heaters and boiler are on the older end of their life cycle.)  

@Hunter HeimerI would recommend HVAC, plumbing or electrical.

The first step I would recommend is to get on the same page And set the goal. from there the path probably isn't incredibly different depending on equity on the house you bought you might try and refinance and pull money out for a down payment on the next property whatever property that is.alternate methods of buying another property would be things like seller financing hard money private money or if you have the means obviously cash.But seriously the best thing I can tell you is to make sure you guys are on the same page and pushing towards the same goal If you're not it's going to be miserable

Anyone using the brrrr method in New Jersey?

We also went ahead and redid the plumbing.

The house was purchased for 203k, our remaining mortgage is 191k, and the current market estimate (although not an official appraisal) is 276k.Our goal is to accumulate properties through the BRRRR method, and as I see it, we have two avenues through which to do this:I can simply use the money in my account to BRRRR.I can pay off my rental property in Beaumont, TX, and utilize a HELOC to BRRRR.I know that most people will say that they never want to pay off a house due to the tenant paying it off for you, and the difference in percentage returns that you get based off of appreciation, tenant payoff, etc.
