BRRRR Analysis

The BRRRR strategy funds a purchase and rehab with short-term money, then refinances on the improved value to pull cash back out. Its outcome depends heavily on the after-repair value and the refinance terms, so test them carefully.

The figures shown are example values. Replace them with your own; rates, taxes and insurance vary by lender, property and municipality.
