The key to the BRRRR method is to buy undervalued properties, renovate them, cash out the equity and buy another property.

Buy - You need to find a property that needs repair and renovate.  Homes that can be converted to a duplex or triplex or needs work inside.  The hardest part of the Brrrr is trying to find a house that is not overvalued.  You need to add in the cost of the repairs to make sure the home will be worth more once you are finished.

Rehab - Repair and renovate to increase the value.

Rent - Rent needs to be enough to cover the mortgage payments, property taxes ect.  Perform a market rents in the area first before offering on a property.

Refinance - Go back to the lender and refi the property to pull out the equity.  Be careful because most lenders will not do a refi until after 1 year and you will need to show the increased value.

Repeat - Take the proceeds from the refi and start over again.

Before considering the BRRRR method you need to understand the pros and cons and decide if it’s for you.
