BRRRR calculator — Michigan
Michigan investors compare Rust Belt cash flow with metro job drivers. Default rent inputs are drawn from HUD FMR data—stress-test maintenance on pre-1980s stock and verify tax assessments for the specific city. Same math as the national BRRRR calculator; numbers are educational—not lender instructions.
Frequently asked questions
- 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.
- How should I adapt BRRRR assumptions in Michigan?
- Anchor stabilized rent to about $1,050/month, then stress rehab timeline, refinance terms, and 1.13% effective property tax. BRRRR outcomes are highly sensitive to actual rehab scope and refinance appraisal.
