This episode breaks down why the BRRRR method isn’t the infinite-money cheat code social media makes it out to be, and what’s actually true about it in today’s market.
Buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat sounds simple, but the people selling courses on it aren’t talking about the deals that blow up. Most locations right now just don’t pencil for a true BRRRR the way they did in 2020-2022, and the ones who were actually doing it have slowed way down. That doesn’t mean the strategy is dead, it just means the expectations need to change.
After underwriting over a thousand deals in the past year and finding none that work, this one’s a reality check on cash flow, appreciation, and what “passive income” actually costs you.
