What is the BRRRR method in real estate?

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. It's a strategy where investors buy distressed properties, renovate them, rent them out, refinance to pull out their initial capital, and repeat the process to scale a rental portfolio with minimal cash.

Q: How does Arvo calculate cash left in deal after refinance?

Arvo calculates your total cash invested (purchase + rehab + closing costs), then models a cash-out refinance at your target LTV against the AI-estimated ARV. The difference is your cash left in the deal — the lower, the better for recycling capital.

FAQ

Common BRRRR questions

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. You purchase an undervalued property, renovate it, rent it out, refinance to recover your capital, then use that capital to buy the next property. The goal is to scale a rental portfolio while recycling the same initial investment.

Arvo totals your all-in cost (purchase price + rehab + closing costs + holding costs), then models a cash-out refinance at your target LTV against the AI-estimated ARV. Cash left in deal = all-in cost minus refi proceeds. A negative number means you pulled out more than you put in.

By default, Arvo models a 75% LTV cash-out refinance, which is the most common for BRRRR investors. You can adjust this in your deal parameters.
