@Douglas Mathenia

I spent a long time watching the MLS and then pounced on something in a decent neighborhood when it hit. i bought in cash so i didn't have to worry about financing costs. but i know that's a much tougher option in a high cost market like Austin.

i did a rough, back of the envelope estimate of the rehab when i walked the property with some input from my agent, and we came in about at budget.  appraisal was a little low, but it's a great rental.

as @Jordan Moorhead said, the power of BRRRR is increasing the ARV and therefore creating a bunch of equity, rather than necessarily having a lot of cash flow.
