BRRRR Strategy
Model the Full BRRRR Cycle — Before You Commit a Dollar
Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat sounds simple on a podcast. In practice, one wrong number — rehab costs, ARV, rent estimate, or refi terms — can trap your capital for years. DealProfit models the entire BRRRR cycle with real data and probability ranges, so you know if the deal works before you write the check.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems investors face every day.
BRRRR has more moving parts than any other strategy
Purchase price, rehab costs, ARV, rental income, refinance LTV, new loan terms, cash left in the deal — every variable depends on the others. A spreadsheet can model one scenario. But what happens when rehab costs 20% more, or the appraisal comes in 5% low, or vacancy is 8% instead of 5%? You need to model dozens of scenarios to understand the real risk.
The whole point is getting your cash back — and most investors don't model it properly
BRRRR works when you refinance out most or all of your invested capital. But the refinance depends on the appraisal (ARV), the lender's LTV, and the new loan terms. If the appraisal comes in 10% low, you leave $20K-$30K more in the deal than planned. Most BRRRR calculators model the optimistic scenario only.
The timeline between buy and refinance is expensive
Hard money or bridge loans during the rehab phase carry 10-14% interest rates. Every month of delays — permits, contractor issues, inspections — costs you $500-$1,500 in interest alone. If refinancing takes 6 months instead of 4, that's an extra $1,000-$3,000 you didn't plan for.
You need to analyze the deal as BOTH a flip and a rental — simultaneously
BRRRR is a flip (buy below value, force appreciation through rehab) combined with a rental (hold for cash flow). You need the flip analysis (ARV, rehab, holding costs) AND the rental analysis (cash flow, CoC, DSCR after refinance). Running both manually for every property is brutally slow.
The Solution
How DealProfit makes it effortless
Full BRRRR cycle modeling in one analysis
Purchase, rehab, rental income, refinance, and post-refi cash flow — modeled as one connected cycle. Change the rehab budget and see how it affects your ARV, refinance amount, cash left in the deal, and long-term CoC return. Everything is connected because in BRRRR, everything IS connected.
Cash-out refinance scenario with realistic assumptions
Model your refinance at different LTV percentages (70%, 75%, 80%) and see exactly how much cash you recover. DealProfit shows the gap between your total investment and your refinance proceeds — the cash trapped in the deal — so you know if the numbers work before you buy.
ARV and rehab estimates with confidence ranges
Comp-based ARV with adjustments and confidence scoring. Rehab estimates with uncertainty ranges. When comps are strong and the rehab scope is clear, confidence is high and Monte Carlo ranges are tight. When data is thin, you see that in the score — before you commit capital.
ProfitScore tuned for BRRRR
BRRRR ProfitScore weights rehab confidence (30%), ARV confidence (25%), and rent confidence (25%) — because all three must be accurate for the strategy to work. A BRRRR deal with strong comps, a clear rehab scope, and reliable rent data scores higher than one with uncertainty on any front.
Probability ranges for every stage of the cycle
Monte Carlo simulations model the uncertainty at each stage: rehab cost overruns, ARV variance, vacancy after rehab, and refinance outcomes. Instead of 'you'll get all your cash back,' you see '72% probability of recovering 90%+ of your investment at 75% LTV refinance.'
