Decide which one fits your budget and your timeline.Build a buy box.For BRRRR, that means defining the neighborhoods, price range, bed/bath count, and rehab level you’re willing to take on.

What you’re doing now, running the numbers, waiting for something that fits your criteria, and not forcing a deal, is exactly what protects you in the long run.

@Michael Santeusanio most of us take it from the angle of "What choice do I have?" 

QuickBooks can be a really good fit here.

Those tend to fit most TVs and reduce the chance of tenants drilling new holes everywhere.Otherwise, the cleanest approach is:• Remove all mounts• Patch and paint once• Let the next tenant install their own properlyThis keeps walls cleaner, avoids liability, and prevents you from having to troubleshoot someone else’s DIY install.

The number of applications I received that qualified as a good "fit" for the property was noticeably less in the fall. 

I ran into this a few months back with a seller who was stuck and the assumable angle ended up saving the whole deal.

If you act decisively and respectfully, they will start sending you better deals before they hit the larger lists.Where a broker fits into thisA broker can help you sift through the deals that are worth your time.

It was from high-quality cold calling with people who actually know how to pre-screen sellers.Inbound leads can work, but nothing beats talking directly to homeowners who fit your criteria and having a trained caller filter motivation before it hits your pipeline.If you’re looking to scale without wasting time on low-intent leads, a solid cold-calling operation is still one of the most reliable ways to generate real opportunities.
