Strategies

BRRRR

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. A strategy that seeks to reuse capital through new financing after renovation and lease-up; the result depends on appraisal, lender terms, payoff, costs, timing, and stabilized operations.

Example

Map acquisition uses, renovation funding and downtime, stabilized operations, the original-loan payoff, refinance fees and proceeds, and the new loan schedule before estimating capital remaining in the deal.

Why BRRRR matters

A simple ARV-times-LTV shortcut can overstate refinance proceeds and understate capital at risk. TrueCap doesn't offer an integrated BRRRR model right now.

How to check BRRRR before you rely on it

Test the plan against the numbers a lender will actually use. Get a written refinance term sheet that states the maximum loan-to-value, the seasoning period, and the appraisal basis. Build the after-repair value from closed comparable sales you have seen yourself, and price the rehab from contractor bids rather than a per-square-foot guess. Then run the case where the appraisal comes in ten percent low and the refinance closes three months late; the capital you cannot pull back out is the real cost of the deal.

Where BRRRR shows up in TrueCap

A strategy sets which inputs the analyzer asks for and which outputs lead the results view. The core buy-and-hold flow is what every free analysis runs; specialist flows reuse the same engine and the same labeled assumptions, so a number that appears in two strategies was computed the same way in both.
