The BRRRR Calculator.

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. This shows the two numbers that decide whether the strategy actually worked: how much cash you get back out after the refinance, and whether the deal still cash-flows once it settles into a long-term rental. The exact math our operators run before recycling capital into the next one.

Be honest on the ARV and the rehab budget. The refinance lives or dies on the appraisal.

The most common way investors leave money on the table is rushing the refinance before the finished rehab and the new rents are actually reflected in the appraisal. Push the appraiser the rent roll and the scope of work, and don't refinance until the value is really there. Just as important: lenders typically require a seasoning period — commonly 6–12 months of ownership — before they'll base a cash-out refinance on the new ARV rather than your original purchase price. Confirm your specific lender's seasoning rule before you count on this timeline.

Recycle your capital. We'll run the rehab.
