We have done tons of non-occupied flips too (fast method).

You are using my absolute favorite method to get started- a VA mulifamiliy house hack is like jumping on an investing hyper speed train.

That’s a fantastic point!

For the WNY investors who have successfully executed the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy here, I'm curious about the local experience.Let's discuss the pros and cons specific to our market:Best Part: What's the biggest advantage of the BRRRR method in Buffalo?

But then I discovered the BRRRR method, and it completely changed my trajectory.

Quote from @Tyler Ligan: My name is Tyler Ligan, and I’m from Hudson, Ohio with a strong interest in the BRRRR method.

Where my roadblock comes is that I have read on this forum a number of times that using a HELOC for a down payment can quickly over lever a person and that is something I don’t want to do.I have thought about DSCR loans, house hacking, BRRR (I love the idea but not so sure the wife would love it with the construction, especially if it is a house hack as well), and a few other methods of acquiring my next property.

There is also a New program that just dropped the down payments for 2-4 unit investment property purchases to a 15% Down Payment making it easier to afford for inventors now.I am also hearing about a lot of "subject to" deals people using Pace Morby's method or cruising on Crex to find deals.  

House hacking is a fantastic strategy, especially in a market like Northern New Jersey, where proximity to NYC can offer great rental potential.To get started, you might want to explore local real estate investment groups or meetups in your area.

We bought our first buy and hold property in the Birmingham, AL area using the BRRRR method.
