I’m assuming not as favorable as they are typically a number of years behind real world activity and they prefer tried and true methods.

I largely agree with @Jeb Brilliant about prices and rent, except would say you need to go to at least $850 rent to get into B areas, and in JAX rents should be even higher.

I am trying to set up a method for a real estate business I am loaning money to, to be able to pay the Self Directed IRA back.  

Whether that be an ad on Craigslist, Rent-2-Own signs  (yes spelled that way as it conveys better than Rent-to-own) that have your number on it so you can get them to your open house.There are other methods but the key thing here is that you attract these type of folks to the property. 

I recently have become more interested in building my portfolio and using a few real estate strategies such as the BRRRR method and I would like to know in general has anyone used a hard money loan to do this kind of transaction?

I didn't want to put this all in one response, but below is the method which was used to build the original article:MethodologyIn order to determine the best real-estate markets, WalletHub compared 300 cities across two key dimensions, “Real-Estate Market” and “Affordability & Economic Environment.”We evaluated those dimensions using 22 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights.

Let me know if you know a good method of ensuring this.
