BRRRR-specific comparison

TrueCap vs DealCheck for BRRRR: which calculator fits the buy → refi → repeat workflow?

Both calculators support BRRRR underwriting. This is the BRRRR-investor cut: which one does the cash-out refi math faster, surfaces "infinite return" deals more clearly, and helps you stress-test the one assumption that kills BRRRR deals — your ARV estimate.

TL;DR for BRRRR investors

Both work. TrueCapedges out on three BRRRR-specific things: explicit "capital recovered" headline metric (so infinite-return deals are obvious), a sensitivity grid that stress-tests ARV (the single biggest BRRRR risk), and a single $19/month Pro tier that bundles the BRRRR analyzer + everything else. DealCheck has native iOS/Android apps and a longer track record in the BRRRR community — if you underwrite at showings on mobile, that matters. Both run standard cap rate + DSCR math; the differences are in BRRRR-specific workflow polish.

Common questions about TrueCap vs DealCheck (BRRRR)

Quick answers to the questions investors comparison-shopping these tools actually ask.

Which is better for BRRRR investors — TrueCap or DealCheck?
Both work. TrueCap edges out on a few BRRRR-specific things: an explicit "capital recovered" headline metric (so you instantly see if it's an infinite-return deal), a sensitivity grid that stress-tests ARV (the single biggest BRRRR risk), and a Pro tier that bundles everything for $19/month vs DealCheck's $25-35/month tier ladder. DealCheck has native iOS/Android apps and a longer track record in the BRRRR community — if mobile is your primary workflow, that matters.
Does TrueCap have a BRRRR-specific calculator?
Yes — TrueCap Pro includes a dedicated BRRRR analyzer that models the full Buy / Rehab / Rent / Refi / Repeat cycle: purchase price, rehab cost, ARV, refi LTV (default 75%, configurable), post-refi mortgage, and the cash recovered from the cash-out refi. The headline metric is the "capital recovered" percentage — anything ≥100% is an infinite-return deal (you pulled all your money back out).
How does TrueCap handle the ARV (After Repair Value) input for BRRRR?
ARV is an explicit field in the BRRRR analyzer. You enter your estimated ARV (typically from CMA comps or an appraiser estimate), and TrueCap calculates the cash-out refi amount based on your configured LTV (75% default — most BRRRR-friendly lenders cap there). The Pro sensitivity grid stress-tests ARV at ±10% so you can see what happens if your CMA was optimistic.
DealCheck's BRRRR mode is well-known — what does TrueCap do differently?
Three things: (1) explicit infinite-return flagging — TrueCap highlights when your capital recovered hits 100%, so you don't have to mentally compute it; (2) sensitivity on ARV — DealCheck requires manual re-runs, TrueCap's Pro grid varies ARV ±10% in one view; (3) all-in pricing — TrueCap Pro is $19/mo with BRRRR included, vs DealCheck Plus at $25/mo or Premium at $35/mo. The fundamental BRRRR math is the same on both.
Can I use TrueCap free for BRRRR?
The standard underwriting (cap rate, cash flow, DSCR) is free on any BRRRR property. The dedicated BRRRR analyzer (cash-out refi math, capital recovered, infinite-return detection) is a Pro feature ($19/month). For your first BRRRR deal evaluation, free TrueCap + your spreadsheet covers the cash-out math; if you do BRRRR repeatedly, Pro pays for itself in the first deal.
What's the right refi LTV to model in a BRRRR analysis?
75% is the most common cap from BRRRR-friendly DSCR and portfolio lenders as of 2026. Some lenders go to 80% for seasoned properties (6+ months of rental history). A few portfolio lenders go higher for strong borrowers. Default to 75% and adjust if you have a specific lender quote. TrueCap's LTV field is configurable so you can model multiple scenarios.
