How does that BRRR "Repeat" work exactly?

[Greg Seivert]

I took out a $100,000 heloc on my primary residence (that I am STR house hacking to great success). I used the heloc to buy my second vacation rental, which is also cash flowing after 9 months in. I'm eager to recycle that original heloc and repeat the process! Do I have to wait for the value of my second rental to increase 20% so I have enough equity to cash out refinance and reinvest? At the expense of higher monthly payments and a higher interest rate? Would that be the best strategy? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

It depends how much equity you have in your second vacation rental. Most people calculate an after rehab value before acquiring a potential BRRRR, after rehab is complete and the property is rented out then if the ARV is accurate it is possible to immediately refinance the property. Hope this helps!
