I really enjoy construction, but a few months ago I started exploring real estate because I want to invest my time and money into something that offers the potential for passive income.I’ve done a lot of research, and the strategies that interest me most are Subject-To, Seller Financing, and the BRRRR Method.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I'm Robert, an entrepreneur and aspiring real estate investor currently focused on the BRRRR method with a primary interest in central Pennsylvania markets.

The bigger mission is to use those systems for precision philanthropy that supports the martial arts and disabled communities.I’m working to implement the Rockefeller method for families who want to build, protect, and pass on wealth with purpose.

I am looking to get into the BRRRR method and trying to find the paths to do itIn New York, most wholesalers will allow you 1 walkthrough, maybe 2.I'd recommend if you're purchasing from a New York Wholesaler, aim to have your contractor with you for your walkthrough so that they can assess the potential renovation costs. 

I have about 20 different acquisition methods, so I'm not locked into only one method; as evidenced this year by using 4 different methods to buy 7 properties. 

I think the BRRRR method is a bit overrated especially in todays market.

Purchased my first duplex style property in Greeley, CO in June 2025 using FHA methods with down payment assistance.

I can give you an example of why the BRRR method is very challenging in this environment. 4 unit property bought in distress (2 units not paying rent) for $206k, ARV in the $325k range 3 months and $35k later we have 2 units rehabbed out of the 4, and 3 total units now rented, 4th will be rented within the next few weeks. 

Second, understand that cost segregation is not “free money”—it is simply a method of accelerating depreciation, which reduces your basis over time.

Alternatively, you can also purchase a property with a partner with a method known as fractional investment.
