@Santiago FelixYou should have no problem finding a company to close your deal, there are two methods here in California and each company chooses to close differently,Some allow an assignment through the escrow and others only want the double escrow.

I am open to other creative capital raising methods except syndication.

@Mary Jay we use online transfer via ACH or equivalent method.

I would like to use the house hacking method for our first property 2 - 4 units while keeping one unit for ourselves as a "home base".We should be able to have around 50k in cash to invest by the beginning of next year.

What are your go - to methods of analyzing a deal?

@John Farady that is very valuable information.I just wanted to add, in order for a DM piece to perform, your marketing message (copy) must match the questions going on in your target's mind and address their concerns, challenges, and problems.You could have the best copy, but if the letter or postcard is being sent to a target list where things aren't congruent (a match around solving their problem), what ends up happening is a deep frustration around DM.DM can be expensive to do on a regular basis. 

Hi @Kristina BayesSelf managing is a lot of the BP investors  method but a lot of investors do still find value with Property Managers Both here in the Smoky Mountains and in Florida!

Second, how would you approach the refinance to complete the BRRR method? 

Ideally, I will be using the house hacking method so I would like to purchase a duplex/triplex.

I suspect using this method it will likely take at least as long as Axel suggested.
