Question 1

What does BRRRR stand for?

Accepted Answer

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. It is a real estate investment strategy where you purchase a distressed property, renovate it, rent it out, refinance based on the new appraised value, and use the cash-out proceeds to buy your next property.

Question 2

How do you calculate cash left in a BRRRR deal?

Accepted Answer

Add your purchase price plus rehab costs to get total investment. After refinancing, subtract the new loan amount from total investment. The difference is cash left in the deal. A successful BRRRR often recovers 100% of invested capital.

Question 3

What loan-to-value ratio do lenders use for BRRRR refinances?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders offer 70-80% of the after-repair value (ARV) on a cash-out refinance. A 75% LTV on a property appraised at $200,000 gives you a $150,000 loan.

Question 4

What are the risks of the BRRRR strategy?

Accepted Answer

The biggest risks are overestimating ARV, underestimating rehab costs, long vacancy periods, and rising interest rates between purchase and refinance. Always build a cushion into your numbers.
