Does not mean you need to use that method to purchase the house.

I am trying to set up a method for a real estate business I am loaning money to, to be able to pay the Self Directed IRA back.  

Whether that be an ad on Craigslist, Rent-2-Own signs  (yes spelled that way as it conveys better than Rent-to-own) that have your number on it so you can get them to your open house.There are other methods but the key thing here is that you attract these type of folks to the property. 

I recently have become more interested in building my portfolio and using a few real estate strategies such as the BRRRR method and I would like to know in general has anyone used a hard money loan to do this kind of transaction?

Would it be possible for me to do a cash out refinance through a conventional loan so that I can take the equity and use it as a down payment to purchase another rental property (BRRRR method)?

I didn't want to put this all in one response, but below is the method which was used to build the original article:MethodologyIn order to determine the best real-estate markets, WalletHub compared 300 cities across two key dimensions, “Real-Estate Market” and “Affordability & Economic Environment.”We evaluated those dimensions using 22 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights.

Let me know if you know a good method of ensuring this.

My Utah properties I knew the tenants and I used the method of making them responsible for the property as their job which worked really well.

I have heard about wholesaling (have heard it is very difficult to find leads and follow through on them, etc), fixing/flipping (have heard I should buy cash as market for investors with this is flooded, but don't have that much in reserves), and preforclosure (I am pretty interested in this method as I heard it is not too difficult to learn about?).

I have $10,000 to invest and I can not decide what the best method for me to invest is.
