The Fastest Way to Build Wealth Investing in Real Estate: The BRRRR Strategy

It’s no surprise that this is my favorite way to invest in real estate, and also one of the fastest ways you can grow your wealth….and this is called the BRRRR strategy of real estate investing. Enjoy! Add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan

The BRRRR Method: This basically uses the equity and profit from one property to fund the next property through strategic leverage. And then the next property can fund the next one…and so on, until after a few years you’ve amassed an army of homes that just throw cash at your every month.

1. The first step is to buy a property, obviously. But the difference here is that you can’t just buy anything - the property not only needs to cash flow, but there needs to be some opportunity for equity. Your equity is basically just the amount of “worth” tied up in the property, minus your loan balance. So you either need to buy into equity by buying something BELOW what its market value is, or buying something where you can add equity with strategic renovations. Most deals won’t work - you need to be better than the average here and really become an expert in your area to spot the best deals, and the patience to wait around until that happens.

2. Renovate. Once you buy something, you’ll fix it up. Generally this is the best and easiest way to add value to a property. Most places that need work price themselves accordingly. Doing the work yourself saves you from paying someone else’s profit in managing a renovation, and often times you can renovate a property much cheaper than someone else will charge for doing the same thing.

3. The third step is rent…in that you now rent out the property. You should have had an idea of what price you’d get from the beginning when you bought the property, so it shouldn’t be a surprise what you can rent the property for. The property should rent high enough to pay off all of your expenses AND cash flow on top of it. Like I said, not every property will do this - you will need to find the 1/30 where it makes sense to buy, at the right price, that’ll rent for high enough, with enough equity to add to the deal.

4. NOW WE REFINANCE! This is where the bank pays off your previous loan, and gives you a NEW loan based off the new, higher value of the property. This means that you’ll have some “Cash at closing,” as it’s called. Now you pretty much got some money back, you have a cash flowing house, and you can do this entire process over again.

5. And then…you repeat the process and start over again with the next one! The advantage here is that every time you buy something under market value, you increase your net worth. By fixing it up, you increase your net worth and cash flow at the same time. The higher your net worth and the more equity in a property, the more banks are willing to lend you to do it again and continue to increase your cashflow. This is by far my favorite strategy, and you’ll finish this up with a trail of cash flowing properties behind you. Yes, it takes some work to identify and fix up a property - but it’s worth it.

Extra tip: get your license, represent yourself on the deal, and use that commission from your deal towards renovations. :)

I’m disappointed. I really thought the first step was to smash the like button.

This is exactly the strategy I'm doing now. Two single family homes at the same time on the same street. Started off with (short term) hard money loans. I'm currently on the refinance stage now. Bought both for 146k after about 130k in rehabs, evictions, taxes, fees and screw-ups. They cash flow and have about 80-95k of equity. I Love the BRRRR strategy!

Absolutely correct about the laminate flooring. I did it in our home and it was basically the selling point to the people. Its easy to do! I plan on doing it asap in our duplex

Freaking amazing. It's like a total domino effect - love it. I rent out bedrooms on a weekly frequency & I'm at the point where I literally forget that people owe me rent. It's often a surprise when then I receive money. "Wednesday already?"

Master Sensei Graham with another one ahah🙌. Thanks for all the practical and truthful knowledge you share on your channel! As I’ve once heard, it is more valuable to listen than to talk, and I can’t listen enough. Most of your viewers are young, as am i, and you are educating us more than you’d believe!

In your scenario wouldn't you need to get your house appraised for 280K before you can refinance? What does appraisals normally cost, $500-$1000? Are you paying closing cost on both loans? Closing cost on 160k should be around $5, 000 and closing on 280k is around $8, 000 depending on your location, could be more or less. Depending on how long it takes to fix up the property and find renters, you'll have to make loan payments. On 160k loan $1, 300-$1, 500 depend on your taxes and interest rate. Multiply that by 3-4 months you're looking at $5, 200-$6, 000.


appraisal- $1, 000
160k closing cost $5, 000
280k closing cost $8, 000
Loan payments $6, 000
Down payment $40, 000
Renovation $30, 000

total investment $90, 000

Then you would need to pray the renovations were good enough to convenience the appraiser the house is worth 280K. I'm I missing something? I'm interested investing in real estate, but it can get really confusing.

Not sure if you have covered this topic, but could you do a video about how to pick a good real estate agent and contractors for your BRRRR deals? Like what qualities and red flags do you watch out for when selecting a contractor and theoretically a real estate agent. Thanks Graham!

I keep coming back to watch this, just so I fully understand the concept and can apply it. Can't wait to have the money for my first multi-unit!

I really appreciated how you upped the ante on your "I don't like to spend money in these issues" progression. Foundation issue (bad foundation) plumbing issue (water spraying everywhere) roofing issue (car in roof) electrical issues (Frankenstein's monster)
