What this video covers

  • BRRRR stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat.
  • Buy: look for a house priced below its value because it needs work, with room for appreciation or cash flow.
  • Build the team before you buy: an agent who knows the area, a home inspector, and a title company or closing attorney.
  • Rehab: repairs, new finishes or even an addition, aimed at raising the value and making the home easy to rent.
  • Rent: the rent covers the mortgage and expenses and is the cash flow.
  • Refinance: a new loan on the higher value pulls your cash back out so you can buy the next one.
