Deal Breakdown
Monthly Cash Flow
The BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) aims to recover most or all of your initial investment through a cash out refinance. This simplified calculator assumes you own the property free and clear before refinancing. Actual results depend on lender requirements, holding costs during rehab, and refinance terms. Consult a lender and real estate professional for precise analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the BRRRR method?+
BRRRR = Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. You buy a distressed property, renovate it, rent it out, then cash-out refinance to recover most of your investment. The goal: end up with a cash-flowing property and most of your capital returned to repeat the process.
How much should I leave in a BRRRR deal?+
Target: 10-20% of the After Repair Value (ARV). If ARV is $250,000 and your all-in cost is $180,000, and you refinance at 75% LTV ($187,500), you leave $0 in the deal — a "infinite" return. Realistically, leaving $10,000-25,000 is a good deal.
What is a good cash-on-cash return for BRRRR?+
Target: 15-30%+ cash-on-cash return. This is high because you have limited capital in the deal. Below 10% suggests the deal does not work or the refinance LTV is too low. BRRRR is powerful precisely because you recycle your capital.
