.😂 I know this is a useless thought and I will still use real estate apps but I'm curious what are some more creative ways of finding deals??

While I’m new to the REI arena, I believe I have a good grasp of the RE lingo/ terms as I have spent the last couple of months reading, listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, taking notes, building a plan of action.

@Anna Bee a successful BRRRR has a lot more to do with adding value / boosting the ARV than with the interest rate of the refinance; the interest rate of the refinance is of course relevant but it's not one of the primary factors that is going to make or break the BRRRR.You will likely not be able to BRRRR a condo or townhouse that is in decent shape - there is no way to get the ARV up.Check out Tarl Yarber's videos on BiggerPockets - he invests in BRRRRs in WA.

Get a video walk through so that buyers can see condition, types of finishes currently in the house, etc.

After the unit is empty we do a video walk through with the tenant and can compare it to the video we did on day one.

The current multi-family properties I own were done with a combination of my own cash and creative financing, neither of which seem to be an option for these latest opportunities.

There are still deals out there that work if you are a little more creative than the next investor.

Once you start utilizing creative leverage such as helocs, brrrrs, cash out refinances, etc you can open a lot of doors.

Finding a lender,a good contractor, analyzing potential properties etc.Crazy cause I've been reading and watching videos about this for almost a year and have alot of knowledge, but still a little overwhelmed about where to start..lol what's the best way to look for a lender?
