What Is the BRRRR Method?

BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) lets you buy distressed properties below market value, renovate them, stabilize with tenants, then do a cash-out refinance to pull most or all of your capital back out.

The Numbers That Make BRRRR Work

You need to buy and rehab at 70–75% of ARV. Example: ARV = $200,000. Buy at $100,000, rehab for $30,000 = $130,000 all-in. Refinance at 75% LTV = $150,000. You pull out $20,000 more than invested.

  • Stessa — Track rental income and expenses
