I purchased our first single family house in 2020 and since then have BRRRR a second property in Februrary of this year that we are living in currently.

A friend of mine flips 12-14 houses per month, without fail, year after year (real flips, not lipstick on pig flips). 

We have no friends or family to borrow another down-payment from.

It is a lot of work for what often has no return for years.If you desire an ADU for friends and family, that is great as you are not adding it primarily as an investment.  

This is why I have never invested in a real estate fund, nor would I ever give money to someone who is looking for a deal.I have friends that invested in a pre-funded deal. 

I would like to remodel the house (4 beds 2,.5 bathrooms), projected at $200,000, and rent as a short term rental during the year on AirBNB (similar).

The challenge is I don’t have any capital upfront, so I need beginner-friendly ways to start generating income.Some options I’ve been considering:1.

It’s a strong value-add first deal, but I didn’t buy quite low enough for a big BRRRR-style cash-out refi in the current lending environment.My next goal is to keep buying in Marion County/Ocala and structure the next one as a true BRRRR: buy further under market, force more equity, rent strong, and refi into a DSCR loan to recycle most of my capital.I’d really appreciate:Advice from investors already doing BRRRR in Ocala/Marion CountyInput on which neighborhoods/ZIPs you like (or avoid) for value-add rentalsRealistic all-in % of ARV you’re hitting here and how you’re structuring financing (bridge + DSCR, DSCR-only, etc.)I’m actively looking to connect with investor-friendly realtors in Marion County who understand ARV, rent comps, and BRRRR/DSCR deals.

I wanted to share my disappointing and unfavorable experience with Peter Conti's Mentorship Program.I purchased Peter Conti's Dream partner program for $15,000 in October 2022.

I would meet with an investory friendly agent, meet with a lender so you can lock down the zipcodes and areas you would be focusing on.
