I've just watched the "gator method" today.

I'd simply explain they can use Zelle until the renewal, then the portal will be the preferred method.

What are the best methods for finding potential properties outside of the MLS?

Looking to broaden my lead flow.

I also would like to get into the BRRRR method.

Whichever method of lead generation you decide on, aim to establish and maintain a relationship with prospective sellers. 

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

As a general contractor, i feel best suited for fix and flip or BRRR method investing.

I do not have to much cash for a down payment but was thinking of doing a HELOC on one of the rentals to get more cash and go the BRRRR method.

For all methods you would want to find a market that has strong employment rates, strong income rates for the market, and is a growing or an established market.
