Trying to balance budget with durability and efficiency.  

Someone that shares high energy and passion for the area and plans on being around for as long as they can foresee.

What I see is this is being sold kind of like any other guru program   its sells a book that sells the theory and in theory for sure it all works .. just like in theory you can build a monster portfolio with none of your own money like the gurus say .. or you can snap flip and make 100k a month wholesaling  with none of your own money.. or the guys are hitting the tax overage stuff hard again on social media.. it all works in theory.And for those that have the time energy and some experience I can see it working for them to.. but you sell this concept to brand new investors and I can just flat guarantee there are going to be a lot of folks that wish they never heard the term BRRRR.In our BRRRR days it worked because we were the gate keeper for the investors..

. % is quite small compared to the amount that attend and pay for them.. but like you said who are we to pre judge it for them.I do believe though when people get talked into paying for these courses with credit cards those folks are almost always destine to fail if they have no other significant source of seed capital to start and the time and energy it takes to be in the sales business which is what wholesaling is.. its sales pure and simple.  

I run our model in phases1)buy a foundation of properties 100ish for rental then buy 2 a month after2)we convert them over for $130/mth for 3yr option premiums 3) hope for a 10% conversation per year with closing cost covered by buyer We get same benefits of tax efficiency and “No Closing Costs”Differences.

You'll have to be really proactive to get it done more efficiently though. 

So many rental homes in the area have energy saving additions such as the solar panels?

If you think of the financial assets you have available in three different terms, it helps you prepare and structure your investing operation to be more efficient.

The lead tech recommended I go with the Home Depot treatment in the future to save money.I am interested in advice as well as I don't know who to address the "whole problem" efficiently when tenant lifestyle is a contributing factor. 

As a new investor investing in low income areas, I hope to rely on a strong property management team for screening and for processing these tough issues legally and efficiently.
