Using the "driving for dollars" strategy of looking for leads I found a couple interesting possibilities.

My main real estate goal is to own an apartment complex using the buy and hold strategy.

Also, can someone bullet point profit strategies from notes?

Assuming this strategy works for your finances.Some other factors to consider are how well they take care of the unit, whether they are on fixed income/ability to pay more), your views on affordable housing/social justice, current market conditions (right now seems good for attracting a new tenant), and whether the property still cash flows or works at a below market rent.  

I am still a relatively new investor and I have been studying the BRRRR strategy and wanting to take action.

I am actually in the middle of a Rehab for a BRRRR strategy and I will be putting a tenant into the property soon and hope to refi out of my short term hard money.  

My question is: if we decide to pull the trigger on this deal what are some creative strategies to optimize my return on this land?

I'm planning on the buy and hold strategy while creating passive rental income.  

Has anybody ever heard of a strategy along the lines of:1: Showing homes in need of repair to potential home buyers2: Have the potential homebuyers tell you what kind of renovations they would want in the house3: Get a contract between you and potential buyers for you to buy the house yourself, do the renovations and then sell the house to the buyers after all renovations are finished.Essentially instead of the homebuyer buying it and then worrying about doing all the renovations themselves after it has already been bought, they can pay somebody else to renovate it before they put money into it then buy it after it is finished.

Newbie here: Is it possible to do the BRRRR strategy with traditional financing upfront or do you have to have a hard money/private loan?
