The Basics
What Is the BRRRR Strategy?
BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance and Repeat. An investor purchases a property with improvement potential, completes a planned renovation, places a qualified tenant and seeks long-term refinancing based on lender requirements and the property's completed value and rental performance.
The initial purchase and renovation may use cash, a renovation loan, private financing or another short-term product. The refinance is a separate transaction and is never guaranteed, so the exit plan must be evaluated before buying.
A Strong Plan Starts With
- A carefully supported purchase price
- A realistic renovation scope and budget
- A conservative after-repair value estimate
- Market-supported rental projections
- Cash reserves and contingency funds
- A lender-reviewed refinance strategy
The Five Stages of BRRRR
Each stage affects the next. Strong numbers, careful execution and the right professionals are essential throughout the process.
Rehab
Complete improvements designed to protect value, improve function and support rentability.
Rent
Prepare the home for occupancy, determine market rent and place a qualified tenant.
Refinance
Apply for long-term financing, subject to appraisal, seasoning, income and lender rules.
Repeat
If capital is recovered, evaluate another opportunity without weakening portfolio reserves.
