Brrrr Strategy ( Need Help)

Brrrr Strategy ( Need Help)

I am in the process of reading the brrrr strategy book and I'm having trouble understanding how a person still has equity after they refinance. Lets say I get private money to fund a deal which is purchased for $75,000 including rehab cost. After I get A tenant in the deal and then refinance 4 to 6 months later. To my understanding they're going to give me a mortgage on the property and a 75% loan to value most likely. let's say the property after it is rehabbed is worth $120,000 and they let me pull out $90,000. If I still have to pay the private money lender then that only leaves me with $20,000 Worth of equity. I must be confused. Even if I use my own money and I got the bank to refinance and they gave me the money back since I put in a new mortgage on the house the money that the bank gave me for the refinance I have to pay back. Correct? I don't see how you can go into the next deal with a house that has a bunch of equity and cash flowing if you have to pay back the mortgage that the bank gave you on the refinance. I'm sorry for my ignorance I might just be confused. Any help would be great.

    @Aaron Thompson the idea is to include the loan repayment as an expense when determining if the property will cash flow. If it cash flows, the tenant is paying the loan, not you.

    The trick is finding a good enough deal that you get all of your capital back, while also being able to leave 25% equity in the property AND have it still cashflow. It works on the right deal.

    need to find a good enough deal to have equity. you always make money on the purchase. Find a good deal which will need leg work.

    Yeah my man once the numbers make sense, then the mortgage is being paid by the tenant. The objective is to find that initial deal, advertise the availability of the property during the rehab process, then once a tenant is in, they’ll pay down the loan.
