Post: Best Strategy to Start Investing in an Expensive Market?

BRRRR is really hard these days. In high priced markets, I think you'd have more luck flipping, especially if they're active markets with good sales volume and appreciating prices.

As for buy and hold, getting your foot in the door with a house hack is almost always what I recommend. Especially if you can buy a duplex or fourplex and have the other tenants help pay your mortgage.

The BRRRR strategy is tough these days (I even wrote an article about it that goes into more detail a little while back: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/beyond-brrrr-taking-advan...)

In short, high interest rates as well as labor/material costs makes it hard to buy a property with debt and cash flow. Not impossible, but much harder than before. By far your best bet are cheaper markets. Baltimore and Jacksonville are certainly better than say New York or San Francisco. But southeast and midwest cities (not including Chicago or Miami or most of Florida) are your best bet

Agreed! To do a clean BRRRR nowadays with the high interest rates are very very hard to do! Partial BRRRRs yes, but to do a clean BRRRR, definitely much harder.


I think that term, "clean BRRRR." I'm adding to my verbal repertoire if you don't mind

That's awesome Will, congrats! It always feels good to have no debt, that's for sure. (Not that I've known what that feels like for a long time...)

That's definitely a good exercise and one we've been doing more and more lately (and thereby selling and selling more these days). 

That's great to see how well you've done. Congrats!
