Couple of corners not to cut:1. roof2. electrical 3. plumbing 4.

Consider exploring alternative financing methods such as bridge loans, seller financing, or specialized 1031 exchange loans, which are tailored to streamline the exchange process while ensuring IRS compliance.I remember when I first got started with house hacking, I made the mistake of not looking into all the nuances of 1031 exchanges.

I have found some options which seemed ideal in sync with the BRRRR method, however from looking on sites like Zillow and Redfin, there just seems to be so many available options, for nice rentals and good rates, so would it even be ideal to buy in the area if it would be so difficult if even possible to find a tenant?

Quote from @Audrey Sommer: The best method is to syndicate to many platforms.

This may actually be the best method to prevent the sale from being discovered, but of course there are other potential pitfalls.Under federal law a transfer to a trust where the grantor retains the beneficial interest WOULD be exempt from the DOS... but notice how in the context outlined above the exemption would disappear.

This crude method ignores all the other debt payments tenants have.

I relocated the tenants to an Airbnb for $1k while it dried out and the plumbing was replaced.

I.e. which method is easier to finalize, which one would cost less, which one is less risky in terms of clarifying title&liens, etc.Thanks. 

There are several different methods that could work in the area based on how much your budget is.

Normally those who invest in these neighborhoods are hyper focused on completing the BRRRR method, cash flow or acquiring as many doors as possible.
