We’ve raised rents on the renovated units, every one of which was rented at $500/mo, or less, to $550.We’ve changed the rental collection method from those of the previous landlord so that we don’t go door to door collecting cash or checks like he did.

Did you find it on the MLS or via another method?  

In the meantime I am going to try to stop lurking so much and get a little more involved here on BiggerPockets as well as continue listening to the podcasts and reading about different methods of investing.  

I am currently most interested in wholesaling at this time, as it seems to be the easiest method of getting started with little to no available cash on hand. 

There are tons of methods and niches with everyone having different specialities.

We are interested in the BRRRR method.

There are many ways to do it, but make sure you are confident, and competent in the method you choose!!

Of coarse most on here would scoff at that method but in low income areas things operate a bit different .

@Ramon MotaJust have the conversation about your goals and methods.

David Greene's book and most mass publications are designed for the masses- who need methods that don't pose great barriers to entry.
