If you can partner with someone that has a contractors license, you may be able to obtain private money or sell the opportunty for a share of the profit or for a flat fee in escrow. 

I am trying to do my first BRRRR deal but because property values are so high I am not able to get the asset for the right price.

Hey,So I am currently obtaining my real estate license.

Nationwide:  Angel Oak and Lima One,,, many other asset based 30 yr lenders.One of the issues scaling up has is deal flow. 

I'm not entirely sure the product continues to be developed given their asset tracking still says "coming in 2017" but the site continues to operate so I'm going to reach out to the company to see where things are at and whether there's legitimate concern over the product shutting down. 

At this stage of your life/career, your best bet is to maximize your savings into liquid assets (ETFs should be you go to option - Vanguard, Fidelity or Blackrock).

You need to define more what you are seeking.Multi could be 2 to 4 unit properties, 20,50,300 units.You did not mention stabilized assets, value add, totally vacant,etc.

If you don't mind C+ class assets and are willing to do some fixing up or have a team to do that for you, there are still many opportunities out there. 

I personally would look at finding a $500-600k asset, that will cash flow better than the $1200 your currently getting and do a 1031x. 

There is a ton of risk involved buying a distressed asset.
