We have a property that has been label high risk and as we have claims in the past couple years all due to natural disaster that hit Des Moines, IA ( storms )Current policy has been cancel and having troubles getting new policy.

I feel like I am missing something here... how can I have so much equity and not be able to access it when this is supposedly *the* method?

@Alicia MarksFeel free to DM for additional info on how I use the DISCERN method to look at granular locations. 

I never trust any method except taking it down to the original surface....

If you are naturally inclined toward project management and flipping, get that process running smoothly and then focus on developing your business in the other areas.

If circumstances dictate that you invest out of your area, the market will depend on your investment methods and goals.  

The process of the property is to rehab it rented and refinance it, with the BRRRR method.

I’m looking to get into the real estate investment world and I’m looking for some help just some guidance, I’ve been reading a lot of books and really like the idea of the BRRRR method.

My other strategy, which seems way too unwieldy and unfocused, has been to open Google Maps, and pick random cities that I have either heard of, or are adjacent to population centers or natural attractions (mountains, lakes, parks etc), and start looking at Zillow and comparing historical data for the props I see listed to try to gauge where we might be on the bell curve of appreciation.
