But if I'm using the BRRRR Method or targeting homes that cannot be sold on the MLS - then I need "alternative" financing to execute on those properties.  

It’s a great fit for a BRRRR strategy with strong equity potential, but it won’t qualify for a traditional loan. 

They’ve never done a BRRRR, never managed a rental, never dealt with banks or built anything from scratch  but they have an opinion ready to go.So I’ve been learning to keep my head down, stay focused, and connect with people who are actually in the game.

If I go Full self-manage, I’d save ~$112K gross (~$90K net after tax), but it could mean 15–20 hrs/week in management, plus seasonal spikes — and that’s time I’d otherwise spend sourcing or managing BRRRR rehabs.Here’s the tension: One BRRRR deal in my market creates ~$75K in forced equity.

I have read a number of books on investing and am particularly interested in the BRRRR strategy.  

.- Refinancing while it is your primary is a lot cheaper - you may not always get the perfect rate or the perfect BRRRR, and that is okay, but being able to refinance at a lower cost and and lower your monthly can save you alot.The most important thing is taking action - most of the deals we jumped in did not look great on paper, but after putting in sweat equity, letting time be yourfriend, rents going up, and being able to pull a HELOC on each of the properties, after 5 years we have cash flow and of a quarter million in equity built to be able to use when needed. 

.- She (and I) would then refinance that property and use the cash-out proceeds and our savings to buy another property outright (potentially to run a BRRRR on).

They didn't lose their jobs so there was no decrease in rent or vacancies.Since 2015, the average annual appreciation and rent growth rates were 9% and 7%, respectively.Less than 2% vacancy rateWhere did I come up with this method?

Then there's always the BRRRR method, if your confident you can sell/rent for a profit and leave little to no money in the house (this way you could pay off a HELOC, 401k loan or similar).

Hey, I asked this over in the PM thread, but curious what the BRRRR pros think too.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/899/topics/1263036-shou...
