Very popular tool used for BRRRR investors trying to scale as fast as possible.

Rutland is a popular place for landlords.

Love that you’re looking in the Destin/30A area — it’s a super popular STR market with strong demand, but also higher competition and seasonality to factor in.I’ve looked into Rabbu and it's a solid tool for getting a quick estimate, but I’d recommend double checking their projections with actual AirDNA data and local comps.

Staying consistent seems to be a popular theme for success.

Markets like Memphis are popular for that reason!

Turned a mistreated duplex into two luxury units currently being used as popular Airbnb by the new buyer!

While the Midwest has traditionally been popular for BRRRR due to lower prices, I’d highly recommend also taking a close look at the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) market here in Texas.DFW has a strong and diverse economy, consistent population growth, and a wide range of neighborhoods where BRRRR makes sense, especially in places like Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland, and parts of South Dallas.

Residential Assisted Living (RAL) is an increasingly popular real estate investment strategy that involves converting or using residential homes to provide assisted living services for elderly residents.

Not only does it let you live in the property while you fix it up (saving on rent), but it gives you the opportunity to build sweat equity and learn the process hands-on.The challenge in markets like Broward is that prices are steep and competition is high, which means finding a true BRRRR-worthy deal takes persistence, strategy, and sometimes, creativity.If Broward is too expensive to make the numbers work, it might be worth looking just outside your immediate area in markets that are within driving distance but offer better cash flow and appreciation potential.A few options to explore:Central Florida cities like Lakeland or OcalaParts of Southwest Florida that are still affordable but growingOut-of-state markets if you're open to remote investing (though this might be better for deal #2 or #3 once you get your feet wet locally)You could also consider mid-term or short-term rentals as an alternative play depending on zoning and local regulations, especially in popular tourist or travel areas.One of the most important early moves you can make is to start building your local team now, especially a good investor-friendly agent, mortgage broker/lender, contractor, and property manager (even if you plan to self-manage).They can help you analyze properties, find deals, and avoid common pitfalls — and a solid team can often help you spot opportunities others miss.If affordability is your biggest roadblock, you might want to look into:FHA 203(k) loans: These allow you to finance the purchase and renovation of a primary residence with just 3.5% down.Seller financing: Especially if you find off-market properties or distressed homes where the seller is motivated.SUBTO: (Great creative path under $4k, especially in FL) Since you're renting and capital may be limited, subject-to financing can be an excellent creative option.

I think one of the reasons BiggerPockets has lost some of its popularity is due to the concerns you've mentioned.Don't listen to any of the capitalist counter-arguments posed here, you are not wrong in the things you're saying.
