What is BRRRR in real estate investing?

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: acquire a property, improve it, lease it, refinance into a new loan often sized to after-repair value, and redeploy capital. This calculator models interest-only rehab financing and a cash-out refinance at your stated ARV and LTV.

How is refinance cash-out estimated here?

The model applies your refinance LTV to ARV to estimate a new loan amount, then pays off the acquisition loan balance. Proceeds are before closing costs and reserves—add those in your own underwriting.

Will my lender approve these numbers?

No. Outputs are educational; lenders use their own appraisal, DSCR, and underwriting rules. Confirm terms, reserves, taxes, and insurance with your lender before relying on any scenario.
