In this episode of the REI Deal Finders Podcast, I break down why the BRRRR strategy — Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat — is back in action for real estate investors. With rates now dipping into the low-to-mid 6% range, the numbers work better than they have in years, and lenders are eager to get money out the door.

 

I’ll walk you through how to find the right properties, run the numbers correctly, and secure financing that keeps cash flowing. Plus, I share a detailed real-life BRRRR case study of a distressed quadplex we turned into a profitable, fully-rented asset — and how that one deal created both monthly income and a $65K cash-out refi at a 6.65% rate.

5 Key Takeaways

 

 

1. Rates Are Investor-Friendly Again – With DSCR loans in the 6–6.5% range, BRRRR deals are cash-flowing more easily.

2. Begin With the End in Mind – Structure your numbers so you can refi and get your money back while keeping the property.

3. Underwriting Is Everything – Taxes, insurance, and realistic rent estimates will make or break your deal.

4. Time Kills Profit – Plan your rehab timeline in detail before you start to avoid costly delays.

5. Systematize to Scale – BRRRR becomes a true business when you can rinse and repeat using the same capital over and over.
