What BRRRR means

Buy a distressed property below market, rehab it, rent it out, then refinance based on new (higher) ARV.

Goal: pull out most or all of your initial cash so you can repeat the process.

If you pull out 100%+ of your cash, you achieve 'infinite return' — the property cash flows with $0 left in.

Critical inputs

Purchase price + rehab costs = your total all-in cost.

ARV: conservative comps matter — overestimate ARV and the deal falls apart at refinance.

Refinance LTV: most lenders do 75% of ARV for investment properties.

Monthly rent and expenses: must cash flow after refinance or it's not sustainable.

What makes a good BRRRR deal

Cash left in deal ≤ $0 (pulled out all your money).

Monthly cash flow after refinance > $200-$300/month minimum.

ARV is defensible with actual closed comps.

Rehab scope is clear and budgeted conservatively.

Common risks

Appraisal comes in below ARV — kills the refinance and leaves you stuck.

Rehab costs overrun — eats into equity and cash-out potential.

Can't find tenants at projected rent — cash flow goes negative.

FAQ

What’s a typical MAO rule for wholesalers?
A common heuristic is 70% of ARV minus repairs, but real buyers vary (65–75%+). Use the % that matches your end-buyer’s criteria.
Where should I include closing or holding costs?
Use the 'Other costs' line item. Different markets and financing terms can materially change this number.
Is this formula always right?
It’s a shortcut. It’s useful for fast screening, but you should validate with a buyer and a more detailed rehab/closing estimate.
