It is not specific to Pittsburgh, This is the same method to use anywhere.I begin by going 1/2 mile radius and sales within the last six months.Make sure the style of house is the same, ranch to ranch or bungalow to bungalow etc..I look at age of home and make sure they’re within 20 years of each other.Look for basement versus slab.

And also find which method of finding sellers interest me the most and always try to have a Win Win Win situation, for sure.

Account Closed Back in my lawyer days, I helped a nonprofit try to recover $3 million "borrowed" and lost by a former CFO who had a sure-fire method of making a killing through options. 

I have heard people recommend using a percentage of rent but that method doesn't seem practical to me for a variety of reasons.

Since he moved there, he has aged in reverse *fast*, at least a decade has come off his face and he's looking trim, fit and healthy again.

I want to replace my income with real estate and the BRRRR method seemed like a good way to get there faster than buying a turnkey investment.

There is just not the same apprehension with these methods than picking up an unknown call.

I am new to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Investing and looking to purchase my first property, preferably using the BRRRR method. 

But in the same method just leveraging their filters to find properties within my criteria per my target market. 

The BRRRR method is my path of investing.
