Understanding the BRRRR Strategy

What is BRRRR?

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. It's a real estate investment strategy that allows investors to recycle their capital and scale their portfolio faster than traditional buy-and-hold methods.

  • Buy: Purchase property below market value
  • Rehab: Renovate to increase value
  • Rent: Generate positive cash flow
  • Refinance: Pull out invested capital
  • Repeat: Use recycled cash for next property

Key Success Factors

  • Buy Right: Purchase significantly below ARV (70-75% rule)
  • Accurate ARV: Conservative after-repair value estimates
  • Budget Control: Stick to renovation budget + 10% contingency
  • Market Rent: Realistic rental income projections
  • Financing: Build lender relationships for better terms
  • Exit Strategy: Plan for different market conditions
