Cash flow is sacrificed somewhat using BRRRR.  

Anyone who cannot tell me what they charge or how they charge or who is really conservative doesnt really fit my style.

Dave Ramsey style.

Save as you would for anything and factor in buffers.I house hack and that is my determined style to achieving financial freedom among other frugal practices.I have house hacked on all my past purchases and closing next week on my latest purchase with the intent of continuing to house hack.Moving out of current property to my new property, a duplex in Denver, CO.I love house hacking and would highly recommend it.Cheers!

If I were in your position, I would try to find the root cause of the problem... it could be the agent's management style or not.

@Justin MarshallI would have $2K-$3K per building but it depends on the size/style of property.

@James DanchusCan you give us an idea of your parameters, investing style and target market?

Although this is tilted towards financial products (equity/fixed income mutual fuds/ETFs), it will give you a basic idea about your personality type and investing style.

Normally, I advocate for a more aggressive approach and there is certainly an argument to be made there for that style of investing.

To begin you need to realise that buying a personal home is a life style decision, it is not a investment.
